This is the first year that I have let my son drive a tractor by himself and I let him stay home from school today to help. I almost had to drag him out of there tonight, although he did say he was getting a little lonely in the dark

Tillage?

Don’t let him use auto steer and he will be out quick.
 
How old is he? Curious at what age people start them now. I was flying fully solo at age 10. Too young IMO but just the way it was then.
He's 12. He has been driving a lawn mower, golf cart and side by side for years now and is more responsible with vehicles than most adults probably are. I have been letting him drive my truck more as well. He has a few years before I let him drive a manure tank because those are a whole different animal and it usually involves road time. Now if he would just enjoy picking up rocks.

Really windy in the northland. I usually hate da wind but this isn't totally a bad thing. May take down the last of the silver maple and most of the oak leaves so I can maybe get leaves bagged before Thanksgiving.

Get him a rock bucket for the skid steer. It is still not a great job but it becomes pretty much all right. We've got one with tines about 1.5 inches apart no grapple works great for picking and digging rock.
I was probably 10 or 12 when dad started to let me haul in haylage.

Foreman is going to talk to the boss about giving me a significant raise, said i should be making more than I am. I took a pay cut, but still am making more money now. Boss said he'd see where I am after a month about giving me a raise, which would be pay for last week. Foreman said he's stingy about pay, probably because he's had a lot of bad employees from what I've heard.

I'm still learning but I think I've proven myself to be reliable. I've been on the roof, walked around through trusses, and used our lift to send up trusses.
