Yard art

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,300]

  I really liked the Suburban that @Buzz has in his yard and it has been on my list of things to do for awhile now. 
  Had a tree taken down and the stump ground up but I still had a hump in my front yard. Built a small stone wall in a circle where the hump was and installed an RJ! 
  Still needs some tweaking but it definitely has the “look” I wanted. Came without a motor but my neighbor @Docwheelhorse had a rusty little Briggs that he donated to the project that just looks perfect on it. 
  First pic is Buzz’s setup that was my inspiration.

Remember that being in the elements, you’re going to want to change the engine and transmission oil more often than not!

 

Looks great!

I could park a tractor in my front yard and sit on it and folks would stop and marvel at a piece of yard art that doesn't move too much! 

 

Love the RJ

I cant stop laughing cause all your yard art tractors look to be in better condition then my tractors!

You definitely have some of the best ideas here on RS my friend.

@Sparky

Your yard addition looks great!

 

 

Ours is a little older than a Wheelhorse.

 

We went to visit the neighbors up the hill last fall.

They live on what was a working farm.

 

There was the piece below set off to one side....

 

We dragged it home....

Yessir.

They flip down with he lever.

 

The pull yoke has a lot of wear from being used eons ago....

 

Super cool historical local equipment.

@Sparky and @JCM

 

I didn't give Trina enough information about taking the picture above. She did not know that this was going to be a post about flower gardens. Jim in particular, you would know how she is... so she had to go put a flower in the garden and take another picture so it looks like a flower garden.....

 

 

I give you, adjusted picture.

I was looking at the tractors again laughing at how they are in better shape then mine and thinking " I could use that part" then I started giggling to myself imagining how @ebinmaine would say " yard art"... would it be " yad hot"?  " I need a pitcha of some yad hot" ? Im sorry i am in a silly mood.

My tractor is in my yard working more often than not, so I think it counts, right?

Be careful what you plant and where you plant it. We have a very large hosta that grew so big that it kind of blocks the view of the tractor from the road. I guess I'll have to move either the plant or the tractor one of these days. Probably have to put air in the front tires if I move the tractor.

I recommend you call AAA and use their roadside tire service  for those fronts!
