I was just curious about this. Myself when it comes to trucks I bleed Ford trucks!!! But that is what I grew up with. As far as farming...I had everything I ever owned and had worked for taken away from me at 31 years old. Including the farm and equipment. Crooked family member with a crooked lawyer and a lot of money... When I was able to get into it again I had the money to buy newer stuff but I tended to stick with what I knew how to work on and use. Some stuff may be a little newer like for example we had a NH 472 Haybine growing up. I now have a NH 488 Haybine. I grew up using a Ferguson TO-30 and a Massey 165. I have a Massey 175 and two Ferguson TO-20's. Same Dearborn 14-15 sickle mower as growing up. Same Ford 16-47 pull type combine. Same Ferguson hay rake...and a few other implements that I have bought that was the same as I had growing up. The only thing I own that is the one I grew up using is a NH 68 baler. I only have it because after they sold the place a guy went in a bought several pieces of equipment and the baler was one of them. He took it to the local Massey dealer to sell it and I saw it and recognized it and bought it. Some differences is we always had a Dearborn plow, I have a Massey plow. I have a newer Vermeer round baler than what we had growing up. We always had a New Idea single row corn snapper and I have a New Idea two row picker now. Some things have been improved and some things work well so why mess with them? Some of that stuff I have purely for nostalgic reasons like the combines but the rest of it I use. I guess my biggest things are I know how to operate the stuff,I know how to work on the stuff,and I can buy the stuff for cash or wheel and deal for it instead of financing. Sorry for being long winded but I'm just curious if there are others like me? I'm sure there are some on here that swore once they got older they was getting newer stuff...and that's ok too.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
