I am 19 and have been into tractors all my life. Right now i have 4 and i am always working on and using old tractors in my spare time. My problem is finding girls that like tractors here in michigan. I can't seem to find a girlfriend because of this, none of them respect the hobby i love...why is this?? can it really be that bad? i sure don't think so!! please write back if anyone has had any similar experiences....

You must be using the wrong kinds. I have always found cruising the cercit in a Rusty H brings them out in droves.

Hey John, I have a 20 yr old daughter name Kacie, she's a red head and is looking for a farmer of rancher. She already has one horse and two llamas plus a few cats and her own dog. She love animals and will drive my tractors when I let her.
She needs someone who will tolerate her animals and love for the land. The bigger your farm, the better.
She is tired of dating all the boys around here (the kind that wears their pants down at their knees). She is looking for a country boy.

Email me and I'll send a picture.

author's note..... NO, I'm not trying to marry her off....well, maybe I am. But, if she marries a tractor buddy, then I'll have a tractor buddy son-in-law. YEA

When I was 16-say 23 or so I lived the same experience. I farmed, went to college, worked hard and long. Seemed like I was always 'chasing something'. Was jealous of all my friends who seemed like they had all the girls.

Along about 23 I decided I was going to quit looking, in fact I swore that I would never again ask a girl out (and I haven't). I just worked at being myself, didn't show out, tried to be nice. Low and behold, (maybe girls respect self confidence???) within a year they were worrying me to death. Dated a lot, lived with a couple, finally got married at 28. I never looked for a woman to share my interests. They were interested in me, and were interested in helping me. As a note of interest, I never did find a woman under 30. Been married 9 years now, glad I waited. Spent my time in my 20's getting my finances and business in order. Watch a lot of my friends that really struggle.

Irony is, now that I'm married I still get worried to death by women. I buy and sell hay and do a lot of custom work. Not a month goes by that some gal isn't hitting on me???

John, go looking where they are! Try visiting your local 4-H/FFA fairs. Go down to the barns and meet the young people who are showing their animals. There will be some wonderful kids there, some in your age group. You can go even further, join a 4-H club as a project area leader. You have some talents that would make you very welcome there. There are eligible young ladies all over. You need to do your search where the ones with your interests are. Young ladies from the ranks of 4-H and FFA are already in tune with farming, animals, and tractors.

I met my wife in college, she was the daughter of a dairy farmer. When I called her one Saturday afternoon, and told her that I was going to have to back out on our Saturday evening date, because we had hay on the ground and needed to get it in before the rain started, and she said she understood - I knew that was the girl for me. We're on my family farm some 35 years later, and she understands our need for tractors and equipment. We raise hay and oats to feed her sheep, llamas, and rabbits. I can depend on her to do tractor work if needed. Our son, same age as you, recently restored a '49 JD B, formerly belonging to wife's late uncle. She's thrilled that the tractor is "still in the family!"

Well heck, I got to tell ya things arent all that bad. I waited 36 years till I found a great gal. I new she was special when she offered to help me hook up a disk, and she backed the tractor. I new that I liked her when we got done hooking up the disk and all my fingers, toes, and other vital parts were still intact! I had to ask her to be my wife when I found out that I could have tractors at the wedding reception. Hang in there, the right one will come along.

John I hate to inform you of this but you just missed your choice of 3 really great gals in our club.The last one at 20 just married a farmer and had never been on a tractor, and now I'm betting there is no one that can handle a W-9 or WD-9 better than she can and weighs in at whopping 95 pounds. So John as others have said, Hang in there, and a great gal is out there just for you.
Best of luck, and happy hunting.

I'm 20 and I sometimes feel like there aren't any farm girls out there. I know several good farm girls but they're all taken. I was surprised to find all of my AG classes at SEMO University to ge female....most of which aren't too bad a'lookin'. I have dated the same girl for over 3 years now. She is a "burb" girl, living just outside the city limits. Her mom grew up on a farm baling hay and slopn' the hogs. If only her daughter could have a work ethic like that. My girlfriend thinks that 40 hours work weeks are just terrible. I tell her to try working 50+ away from the farm and then coming home to help my dad until 10pm every night. She doesn't want to hear that!

Things haven't been all bad. I did manage to get her to rake hay for a couple of hours last summer. It took lots of persuasion but she came through. The big thing for her is her allergies flairing up around hay and just being outside on the farm. She came out this spring and rode with me on my 720 gas two-popper top dressing our pasture with fertlizer. She even drove.

I always wish she would have grown up on the farm, but sometimes I like showing her things.

One important thing for me is that when I expect her to do something that I like or have an interest in, I try to do the same things for her. Kinda like a trade-off.

She's even going to the 2cylinder Club Expo for three days in July with me. I'm going to take her on a tour of JD Waterloo Works assembly plant.

Good Luck, and you don't have to find one right off of the tractor, you still want the gal to be a lady...you might be surprised to find a girl that can out work you and spit the juice farther too!

My advice....
Hope it helps or gives you insight.

well i am 20,and from what i have found ya dont gota neccesarilly get a girl that likes tractors, i got a girl that likes sorta general farm stuff, she is into horses and that sorta thing, not too much into tractors like i am, but she helps out and doesnt mind my tractor habit. the good thing is that it sorta gives me a reason that i need tractors, to make hay to feed our animals, right now we just have goats tho. the next part of the whole problem is that once ya get a girlfriend then ya dont have as much money to spend on tractor stuff, heck she is always trying to spend my money on all sorts of small livestock, last time i went to pennsylvania we went into TSC and ducklings were on sale so practicaly before i knew it she had told the salesman that we wanted 3 of them, so after that we were on our way home, box of ducklings on her lap, and we pass a sheep in a small pen out in front of a farm with a for sale sign, well she gets all excited and tells me to stop, and that he looks lonely and that we should buy him, which basicly means that "we" will buy him with "my" money, its funny how those things work. so ya gota widen your search a bit, heck i wasnt saying to myself "i gota find a girl who likes tractors"i just wanted a girl lol, but luckly i found one with alot of the same interests as me, now if only i could get her to stop talking so much about getting married i would be all set! i dont want to get married for a long time. so dont worry too much about findin a tractor girl, just make sure its a girl who tolerates tractors, she doesnt have to like them

How about you take up something the women like such as ballet, shopping for clothes/shoes/sunglasses/makeup/etc. Then off to the museum. Or to the fitness club for some dancercise? Going out for lunch having little salads or quiche. Then off to the spa for a facial,pedicure,manicure,wrap,aroma therapy etc. You could also help park their cars so they don't have to back into or out of a parking space. I don't want to surprise you but women want to do guy's stuff about as much as you want to do women's stuff.

It took a few years before my wife found me. We were good friends first. My wife is a country girl. She doesn�t mind getting dirty, sweaty and working hard when the need arises. She thinks tractors are nice because they make the job easer. Two weeks ago she drained the fluid from the transmission, loader, and planetaries and changed the filters. We ended up with almost 20 gallons of old oil! I did helped with filling things up (those 5 gallon buckets get heavy) and passed her a few tools to her. This weekend she will do the engine oil. It is good that she knows how to do it in case something ever happened to me. You each need to do 80% and you will meet in the middle.

I am from Ohio and am 26 years old with the same problem. I thought I had found a farm girl the other day that owned show cattle, loved diesel trucks, and tractors. I am suppose to go on a date with her this weekend but cannot get ahold of her now. Seems like most girls want a bad guy that does nothing but hurts them. I am starting to get that bad guy attitude now. I don't want them to think I am a push over. I just want someone I can spend the rest of my life with that has very simular interest and was raised very simular to me. Keep looking we will find one someday that knows something good when they see it. Remeber it is their loss not yours!!!

Hey John I dont know how the girls are where youre from but the ones that I bring home to the farm all think im WAY sexier when they see me controling one of those big machines, maybe it only works on the girls at my college (my first job) but damn it sure does work! So what Im sayin is find a city (college) girl that thinks driving tractors is way harder than it really is! So just go to college and watch them flock!

don't sweat it just find one that can tolerate your hobby. as long as she tolerates your hobby and you're careful she will never notice that your hobby has grown to XXX tractors guns ectera.when she sees you on one of your tractors she will just think"ther goes john one one of his old tractors" if she enjoys the hobby to much then it's there goes john on...hey that's a new old tractor how many dose he need .....and these are the pants i've been wearing since highschool .....with the baby one the way ....and my car is 10 years old and he says we cant afford to buy me a new one....ect.now do you see you just need one with her own hobby who tolerates you tractor hobby it makes life easier. the trick is to just bring them home when she's not looking and just slip it in with the rest then occasionaly bring one in under the full light of day with lots of fan fair but make it a cheep one so she is happy,then one day you'll have enough she'll never keep track.this also works for guns ask me

Jerry makes a good point, down here the girls love tractors. It seems all their grandpas have them and their dads are ranchers so I guess it's in their blood. I am 23 and happen to be single with a 53' Jubilee and a 53' John Deere 40. That just makes for more money for parts, HA. I don't know, most girls I know fish,hunt,and hual hay. Must be the heat getting to 'em down here. Well,dont give up there every where, I know a few that rather be up there with you than here where it's 105 at noon. Good Luck huntin'.

I used to think just like you, will I ever find a girl interested in tractors? hang in there. One of the secrets to 23 years of happy marriage has been that my wife and I have maintain some separate interests. She couldn't care less about tractors and I couldn't less about her "crafts", and never have. But we do share alot too. The balance is the key. Good luck. By the way, my wonderful wife is from Michigan. There are lots of great girls in Michigan. Keep looking.

I think that it takes a little maturity to understand that a guy with a 'farming habit' is is much more of a man than one with a drinking habit, a womanizer, etc. My wife could care less about tractors. However, I know that she doesn't mind sharing my affections with a tractor compared to some of the alternatives.

I hate to see someone named John so confused. You do not need to find a "girl" interested in tractors. Find a woman, you are 19, who has values that you require. You have it all wrong. If your "girl" likes to needle point will she reject you for not sharing the same interests. At 19 you should meet and get to know as many girls/women as possible and do not even consider getting married for the next 3 to 5 yerars or more. Keep your options open. Again, think long and hard about all of the values you require in a woman. Values not material objects or hobbies or a job or profession. P.S. get all the education or technical/trade training you can.

I agree with the above. I'm a recovering alcholic. My wife of 25 years doesn't have any interest in my tractors, but she would rather see 3 JD's in the garage instead of 3 bottles of scotch. By the way, "SHE" traded our red lawn mower for a green one.
