Just for the fun of it. This photo was in our paper today, taken yesterday. This old boy has been farming that same patch with the same tractor and equipment for 35 years.

Reminds me of my uncle . He used one of them little ford tractors up until a few years ago , don’t recall what year the tractor was , but he had had it for as long as I can remember. Stacked a shiet load of hay behind that thing . He continued using that type of rake too along with a side mower . Last couple years he broke down an got an international and a hay conditioner . Still took a spell for him to go to round bales 98 now and still got a pet bull and couple cows he likes to keep . Kenneth

Looks like a MF 35 with a 3 cylinder Perkins diesel to me.

I've not had one, I've heard those Perkins engines run cheap.

That’s some thick assed hay for a second cutting!!! Look at the windrow behind the tractor. It's pretty small. I think the photographer knelt down to take it so he was shooting right over the top of a windrow. It makes the hay look a lot bigger. Kind of like the camera tricks used to make a game animal look a lot bigger.

My maternal grandfather bought a gasoline and diesel MF 35’s in the early 60’s. My uncle has them and they run and do their job still. Neat pic.
