I'll be 50 this year.Been on the same place 47 years,both parents buried out back by the kitchen patch.Still keep a few beef cows make a little hay.Have to have a real job here in suburbia,to finish paying off my sister and get by.
First tractor I got to run was a Ferguson 30.The neighbor has it now,and better him than me.They used to say,"p-ss on the tires and hold the drawbar and it'll be stuck",they were right!
When I was 15,bought a Farmall C not a bad tractor.But to small.When I turned 18 bought Farmall M. Mom had a hard time running baler with me stacking on wagons,needed power steering and live PTO.Bought a Farmall 340,but it was all it could do to pull a 46 baler on these hills.Besides Mom said it was to hard to get on and off with a skirt on,don't think she ever wore jeans in her life.
When I got married I still had cows to feed at home and I thought I would get more help,but that didn't last long,the wife forgot how to stack that summer.We later bought a MDTA and a 630JD,still have MDTA but sold 630.
Now we feed round bales,because you can't get help,and if you could,they want more than they're worth.
Now I've,"got more tractors than cows,"she says,I never thought of myself as a collector,just never needed new and couldn't pass up a deal.
