I grew up on 300 acres and 80% of the work was done with a Ferguson TO-30. It was that way until 2003 or 2004 I guess. We did borrow a neighbors Farmall Cub one year to cultivate tobacco and I hated that thing. It had no power although in it's defense it was probably worn out many times over. I have my own place now and I use my MF 175 for most of my baling,but everything else is done with a Ferguson TO-20. All the plowing,discing,planting,raking hay,lots of odds jobs. They are just handy,nimble little tractors. I like them so much that I bought another one so now I have two TO-20's. I guess it helps that I have fond memories of growing up with them also. I did buy a Farmall Super A to do my cultivating with. It is a 1954 model so I put the 3.25" sleeve and pistons in it. That thing is light years ahead of that cub I used. It is quite the set up for cultivating, in my opinion anyway. I recently traded for a MF135 diesel which will probably take over the plowing since I am converting my 2 bottom plow into a 3 bottom,but I don't want to speed things up too much because I enjoy my seat time in those old tractors.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
