Our Big Announcement......Our newest addition!!!

The Old Five Notch Farm is thrilled to have a new addition!

As any farmer knows, having the proper equipment to do the many jobs around the farm makes the work so much easier.  Well, we invested in a piece of equipment today!

A Kabota 3200L series with a front loader :0)

Our newest addition!  On the trailer so I guess it's ours!

Our salesman at Greenwood Equipment & Sales making sure our new tractor is secured

My Farmer Man with his new toy...er....tool ;0P

The first "load" for the new tractor....25 pounds of grass feed beef we picked up at the Greenwood Farmers Market! He was coming up to the house anyhow and said he'd help! lol

We are so blessed! Kabota had 0% financing and 0 down. Nothing like having 5 years to pay for something and not paying any interest!! AND Mr. Farmer AND I got new Kabota caps....and mine is PINK! lol ;0)

Scott has already put 1.7 hours on the tractor "working" around the farm today.  He pushed up the pile where we had burned the trees and stumps we took down to make room for The Chick Inn II, moved some old logs around the outside of the fence in the backyard, cleared all the brush and limbs from around the outside of the fence and started to fill the trench back in where we have run the electric and water to The Chick Inn II. 

This investment will pay for itself in time saved on many upcoming projects...and you know how long that list can be!

I'm so happy for my Farmer Man...this is something he has always wanted...his very own tractor.  He works so very hard not only at his "real" job, but here on the farm as well. I'm hoping this new addition will make his jobs here on the farm a little easier or at least a little more enjoyable :0)

We have been blessed with friends and neighbors who have always been so very generous in either coming and doing the work with their tractors and equipment or allowing us to borrow a tractor and equipment.  We are ever so grateful for their generosity and their help!  We hope we can repay some of that kindness now that we can help others.

We'll have some more news, more additions!, later this week....so stay tuned!
