Later he got a Massey Ferguson 50 high wheel, I plowed with it a lot more until I left home.

It was our main use tractor for 25 years, starting when we got it in '87, but now it's semi-retired and dedicated to sickle bar mowing around the ponds and under treelines.

The new diesel tractor I have today sips fuel compared to that old Ford but it sure got the job done. I still love the old tractors. They are groovy. ---------------------------------------- I'm a big fan of the courtesy flush.

It even has the original battery.

Similar deal here. Versatile 835, 24' toolbar, 5 mph, all day or after school.... Boring work. Later on we were trusted to pull a drill.

Grandpa had IH H and M tricycle fronts and an Uncle kept a JD A with midmount cycle bar for a hay tractor. He farmed with a JD 720 and later a 4020. Don't farm anymore but would sure like to have that old D17 back to trim up my 12 acres.

He wouldn't tell me where it went. His widow did. This has to be the least recognized statement ever made on the Campfire...

The first tractor I can remember driving on my own was a '49 Ford N if I've got the year right. It wasn't long after that though that I was spending time in a lot of Case tractors - 1070, 1370, 2470, 2670 and then a whole lot of time in a Versatile 935, but they belonged to the farming company I worked for and eventually became a part of for two years. When we moved here to BC we ended up on a small acreage and went looking for something to use around the place. We found one of these, which I'd never heard of until buying it - a Japanese built Iseki G174. This is a stock photo - somehow I don't have one of ours that I can find. Ours has a weight box up front and extra lights but otherwise looks just like this one. I call it my garden tractor on steroids and am very impressed with the little two cylinder Mitsubishi diesel engine in it. Thanks for thread again and all the best to you this weekend. Regards, Dwayne The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"

My brother has the M and I have a 1967 Oliver 1850 diesel. I don't use it much but I got it. kwg For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative.

The fist tractor I bought myself was a 1948 or so John Deere 40, with crop row front end. I have a 1952 Ford 8n now. So I have not progressed much in 50 years or so.
