Or this type?

This isn't mine. Mine isn't shiny, it works for a living, plus it has headlights and front bumper.

10. My Grandfather had a tractor like that.

I learned to drive it when I was 8 years old.

It burned up in a barn fire, that was great tractor.

9. I have one of these

11. I'm planning on a Kubota in the spring. Will keep the 8N, I've had it for 27 yrs.

too fricking sentimental.

[triguy46]

12. I was getting it fixed to sell it, then the old fart at the tractor doctor's said:

Boy, she's really strong, that's one good 8N. Shit, it was like he was complimenting my kids. I'll never sell it. 1950 model, I've overhauled it twice, last time 1993. Doesn't burn oil, starts every time, even with its 6 volt system. Use it about 40 hours a year, brushhogging, moving snow, and in general pampering the planet.

13. I saw in the personals the other day posted --

woman with land seeking
man with tractor.

:D

[triguy46]

15. I asked a realtor the other day about the house across the road that just sold...

"Why would anyone want to live out here in the sticks?"

She replied, "Well, you do."

We've had our farm for 28 years and lately I have been wondering about cashing out, moving to town. Then this afternoon, riding the tractor the 6 miles back to the house, on a glorious beautiful fall day, I realized, 'why would I leave the country to live in town?' For all the hassles, problems, expense, work, I just cannot imagine having a house 20 feet away from mine. My walk to get the mail is about one half city block. its a quarter mile to the newspaper. I needed this ride on the old beast to reinvigorate me and affirm that though I was raised in KC, I'm country through and through.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. Me too

through and through :)

[zabet]

14. We used to have one of those.

Currently have a 63 MF diesel deluxe (with the Perkins :)),
one green monster, and an awesome 615 Allis Chalmers backhoe -
a 61 model that they still stock parts for.

[triguy46]

16. I need more tractor, really want diesel. Prob in the spring. What I could do with a loader.

[zabet]

17. Hubby says a man

cannot have too many toys to play in the dirt with.

The loader is worth its weight in gold around the farm.

[sasquatch]

18. International huh?

You must like paying for those repairs?

[riderinthestorm]

19. Fine! So our '56 8020 JD can't beat your old one

We use it to pull the manure spreader cause we need reliable, every day! The seat is frozen up on it so I can't move it forward enough to reach the pedals (like a kid) so my husband or one of the taller mexicans has to drive it and it is definitely a guy. tractor. (I suppose I should capitalize that to go along with the period separators....)

We also have two other JD's, the smallest is a 25 hp 855. Sorry but we are green all the way....

Do you get your tractors picked up by the service guys for repair, haul them in yourself, or get the (#@&%!@%^*) expensive on-site services out for repair? Between scooters, the gator, the golf cart, misc. equipment, and the tractors something is ALWAYS in the shop! arrgh!

At least all of ours have a front end loader, big to small. Ha!

[Orrex]

21. Does she think your tractor's sexy?

That song makes me want to go back in time and prevent my grandparents from meeting, just so that I never have to have heard it.

[Generic Brad]

22. Are the tires large enough to make a dandy sand box?

After you're through using them, of course.

[liberaltrucker]

23. OK, plow the field and grow some good Cannabis Sativa, OK

:hide:

Just kidding. Feed us, my friend.

:toast:

[Swede]

24. How does the tractor beam on Star Trek work?

:shrug:

[pokerfan]

25. I grew up with one of these

And we had one of these:

[eauclaireliberal]

26. If it ain't a Deere, than you must be from outside Wisconsin

that's a must here.

[triguy46]

29. They dominate western OK. New Holland is strong in E. OK.

I have a streak of contrarian in me, if everyone here is on a Deere, I want to be on something else.

[Beausoir]

28. Sugar beets,,,are they the devil?
