When I first had a hankering for a tractor, I started spotting these little red and gray tractors here and there. I was chatting with a gent one day about wanting a tractor for the twelve acre place we had just moved to. He said the red and gray tractors were Ford 8Ns. One day I spotted what looked like a nice one on a lot in town. I told my bride about it and she said "Happy Birthday, Happy Father's Day, Happy Anniversary, and Merry Christmas..... for the next five years! Now go get it!"

And so I did. I brought home my little 52 8N. I mostly use it to mow our seven acre meadow but I worked it pretty hard this summer. I plowed up two acres around the house with the help of an old Ferguson two bottom plow I found. What a team! A 70 year old plow being pulled by a 55 year old tractor, driven by a 55 year old farmer wannabe.

After I let the newly plowed up weeds die off for a few weeks, I plowed it again, then borrowed a neighbors disc harrow and ran that over the two acres a couple of times, then pulled a big heavy slab of metal, weighed down with four heavy stone blocks to level and smooth the ground. Planted bermuda grass and, thanks to all the rain we've been having in Texas this summer, those two acres exploded into lush green grass in about three weeks.

Now, when the dew dries off this morning, I'm going to hop on her and spend a few hours mowing this morning.

Life is good.
