Everybody has a fave, and of course it depends upon the size of the job you are doing, as well as what type of job. For the smaller stuff we do the handiest tractor we have (and both Dad and I profess it to be our favorite) is the Super C, but ya always seem to find Dad on the 2N and me on the JD B. For bigger stuff the JD 70 (god I wish it had power steering) for me and the Super M for Dad. All around for me I think the JD A is my favorite. Those Oliver 6 cylinders sure sound nice, and they are a pretty tractor! Only knock I have heard on them is traction; Dad relates a story from when he was a teen working on his Uncle"s farm; They were in process of buying a new tractor and the dealer had dropped off an Oliver 77 for them to try, after a little plowing his Uncle said "we already have that Massey 44 that has no traction I guess we"ll send this back." He then bought a Farmall M. Maybe he should have demo"d a JD A if he really wanted traction? At our last tractor club meeting, one of the members with a sweeeeeeet Super 88 Dsl. related that he bought it from a local farmer who bought it new, the farmer told him it"s a great tractor but maybe we should have spent more time trying it out because it doesn"t have very good traction. That having been said, I know that when you get those Ollies weighted up good they pull like crazy even in the stock classes. I guess those pressed steel wheels that give ya lotsa flexibility at pulls weren"t really the Cat"s behind for real farming. One thing I do know: In Div I strictly stock pulls the only time I know for sure that I don"t stand a darn good chance of winning #3000, #3500, #4000, and #4500 is when i see someone rolling a Super 66 off their trailer!

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
