This is pretty cool

Baw keeps his equipment in mint condition too. Amazing what you can do when you take the time to properly care for something

Brings back good memories for me. I spent many hours on my grandfather’s 4430 and 4840.

Pretty sure that we just stopped using the realllllly old stuff ... think our rice trucks are upgraded to 1980s stuff.

This guys stuff looks immaculate .. but my husband would disagree about not needing a 40foot header on a combine.

She is kind of one those cute fat ones where she looks good if you’re at the bar and about 10 beers in. Then you wake up next morning and ponder your life decisions

One of the most reliable small tractors I had for a long time was a 1939 Ford 9N which I used often. Sold it still running about 5 years ago to an enthusiast who has restored it completely to pristine condition.

You can’t destroy those tractors I’ve seen the parking brakes go out and they rolled off into pond still running the aerator. Water up to the seat sucking water through the air intake and wouldn’t die. Swam out there and drove it out of the pond. Changed fluids. Good to go

Someone will be when all those trucks and tractors go to auction.
