The first tractor I ever bought is a 1955 John Deere 60. It gets some work, like pulling empty gravity boxes to the field, running auger, and pulling a 10ish foot RWA disk, but is mostly retired from the "real" work
My second tractor is a 4010 diesel that turned out to be either a lemon or just VERY tired. I got four times what it's worth in it. Only thing I haven't had worked on is the tranny (fingers crossed)
My third tractor is an early open station 4430. It isn't *mine*, but came with the farm to use until I don't need it anymore - thanks, FIL. I treat it like it's mine - new rubber on rear, regular maintenance.
My fourth tractor is a 2040 with 521 loader. It's only half owned by me. My FIL bought it a couple years back with major issues. I fixed it up and we trade it back and forth - he gets it for winter snow removal and I get it for summer fence work.
I had my grandpa's 3020 for a while, but then dad took it back. I hope to take it back from him again soon.
I hope to get a bigger cab tractor this next year if finances will allow. My 4 year old really wants to ride, but momma don't like open station tractors.
So, what's the count???
2 outright, 2 halfway, and 2 in the pipes

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
