Jimmy: Very gutsey indeed, I'll never forget the day my dad and I hooked a 150 bu manure spreader behind the new Farmall 130. He just wanted to be sure he hadn't made a mistake by not buying the 230. That little 130 spread all the manure from 40 mature holsteins, probably another 35 calves and heifers for about 3 years, and remember we had 7 months stored feeding along with 7 months manure pile. He then bought a used Cockshutt 540 with Wagner loader, freeing up 300 for 100% field work.

130 got freed up from manure spreader duty, however that fall we bought some additional land and plowed a 100 acres with 130 and 2x12 one point fast hitch plow. That was the frist year we plowed 100 acres in a season. We both milked cows in am, one guy went plowing with 130 and the other guy spread manure with 300 and the Cockshutt for loading. Plowing person didn't have to show up for evening milking.

After that we bought 560D with No. 60 4x16 plow, 130 became the garden and hay rake tractor. The 560 almost didn't happen. Dad had a new David Brown 990 out on demonstration, baling hay and man did he love that diesel for baling. My brothers and I didn't like the David Brown, but those European Diesels were coming into Eastern Canada at a fraction of the cost of a new Farmall. We knew dad also liked a tractor that could take an exceptional drawbar pull.

David Brown had 16.9x30 tires with no ballast of any kind. Our Farmall 130 had one set of wheel weights and was loaded with chloride on 11.2x24 tires. My brothers hooked these two tractors tail to tail with a 12' chain. Dad was on the patio, reading his daily newspaper. He heard the comotion, came around the corner of the house to see Frank on 130 pulling Doug on DB with diff lock engaged, both wheels spinnig forward, yet going backwards. Frank actually was able to push in clutch, let Doug pull him backwards, then let out clutch and go the other way, with DB spinning both rear wheels. In the middle of all of this, who drives in but DB salesman, expecting dad to be sitting out there with his check book. Needless to say he left with his DB.
