Hugh, the owner sold the one point hitch, fertilizer works
and cultivators for $800 and used the money to pay for the
Woods mower. I agree with your thinking and am leaning
towards having two tractors. The decision is easy, it's
convincing my wife to let me have the second check for the
second tractor that will be the hard part.

I need a tractor like I need another hole in my head, but I'm
going to be 52 this year and I guess it is a way of
remembering my dear dad and my eastern nc childhood.
On another subject, Hugh, my marketing "ears" perked up
with your comment on another post regarding IH's market
share slippage in the 1950's as a result of their sticking
with their fast hitch technology a bit too long. IMHO fast
hitch is a superior techology, but apparently like so many
other products, the first one with critical mass (implement
sales numbers) wins the market much like Windows and
VHS format won their markets. It's too bad because IH's
tractors in the 1950's were great stuff compared to the JDs
two cylinder technology, Case's distribution fell short of IH's
dealer network and Ford did not have big tractors.
