Our B62OOHST now comes with extra strength under the hood. The liquid
cooled, 3-cylinder diesel engine provides 15 horsepower.
At the same time, we’ve increased hydraulic capacity to make this hard
working Kubota even better.
A hydrostatic transmission is also standard equipment for easy shifting from
forward to reverse. And you have a choice of 2- or 4-wheel drive.
A 3-point hitch plus 2-speed live mid

predict the changes they will face
in the future, but there are ways to
help them cope with the stress
those changes cause.

Patience and time are required
to successfully cope with change.
We have to impiovc areas of
weakness within the family so that
when change is required, the
family system will respond and
adapt rather than crumble.
People can experience four kinds
of change, each causing differing
degrees of stress.
Expected and wanted changes,
like marriage or a vacation, cause
minimal stress. Expected and
unwanted changes, like the
physical changes of growing older
or paying taxes, are more
stressful. Unexpected changes that
are pleasant are still stressful, but
easier to take; these include
promotions at work or inheriting a
lot of money.
Probably the hardest to cope
with are the changes that are
unexpected and unwanted, like the
death of a loved one, a tornado that
damages property and lives, or an
accident.
The amount of stress to a family
caused by a change depends on the
number of stressful events oc
curring. Usually, one stressful
event can be handled. But if
several occur simultaneously this
is called stress pile-up and can be
difficult to handle.
It is also more difficult to cope
with a stressful event that lasts a

long tune. Losing a job and not
finding another one and a long
term illness are examples of this
type of stress.
Building family strengths before
and after changes occur will help
families cope with the stress those
changes bring.
Family members should con
centrate on individual strengths
and family strengths rather than
weaknesses, and in times of stress
that’s hard to do.
In times of stress and change the
family needs to keep the lines of
communication open. They need to
make time to talk to each other,
listen to each other and work out
the difficulties. From this they
may get ideas for solving the
problem.
Staying flexible about who does
what and when is a key factor in
coping with shifting times of
change.
Finally, families can plan
strategies to cope with some crisis
before they occur. If possible,
anticipate what changes you may
encouter, such as a death in the
family, and adapt before they
happen.
For many health-conscious
people who wish to lower their fat
intake, the hardest choice is to
reduce their cheese intake.
Besides having appealing variety,
great taste, compelling con
venience which makes it an ex
cellent sandwich and snack food,
and social acceptability with wine,
cheese is a reasonably good source
of calcium and protein. Un
fortunately, between 65 and 75
percent of its calories come from
fat. A typical 1.5 ounce serving,
which is equivalent to two slices of
American cheese, contains nearly
the same amount of fat as 3.5 pats
of butter, and most of it is
saturated.
What about low-fat cheeses’
Well, the low-fat natural cheeses
are not really very low in fat. Part
skun mozzarella contains only one
fourth less fat than its normal
counterpart, so only 55 percent of
its calories come from fat. Part
skim ncotta contains 10 grams of
fat per half cup instead of the 16
found in the full-fat product, which
means that it is not exactly low in
fat.
Low-fat natural cheese is ac
tually hard to make smce fat is
what gives cheese its consistency.
Processed cheeses, in which water
is added to a cheese blend, are
lower in fat. Many of the “hte”
cheeses, for instance, contain only
3 to 4 grams of fat per 1.5 ounce
serving. Their drawback is their
sodium content. That 1.5 ounce
serving will contain from 340 to 700
mg of sodium, a significant
amount if you are concerned with
keeping your sodium intake to the
3300 mg recommended by the
National Academy of low spoilage
rates, so they are handy for brown
bag lunches and travel well
If, like most people, you like
cheese and still want to watch \ our
fat intake, eat small servings or
eat it on days when you are eatmg
an otherwise low-fat menu. Save
cheese for special-occasion menus,
and if you use it when cooking,
pack it loosely when measuring
and do not add that “extra” for
good measure
