Big Tonka Toy

OK, I ticked something off my bucket list today. I got to pay with a big Tonka toy. To be brutally honest I don't actually know what you call one of these.

When we turned up yesterday, I noticed this in Ken's backyard. He bought it recently for some farm work. Today he allowed me to start it up and try out the controls, under supervision of course. It is a bit close to the house and I could have done some serious damage without a bit of guidance. It is actually quite simple to operate and the controls are very sensitive.

Loads of fun.
