I'm having a hard time understanding a local trend, and I'm hoping you good folks can help me. Here (and I'm sure other places, too) its common for someone to come to a rural area from a more populated one, and purchase some land, usually from 5 to 15 acres, and call it their "farm". While I do consider it to be a farm, when its operated as such, I have a hard time understanding some of these "farmers" choice of machinery. They all, almost without exception, go out and buy an 8n or 9n Ford for $2500 to $3000, and then go buy implements for them. My hang-up is that for the same money or less, they can buy an H or M Farmall, or an A or B John Deere or even a WD-45 Allis Chalmers. Any of those are TWICE the machine an N is! So why do they want them? Around here, years ago, we all had an N for chores, etc. I sold my '39 this year, because it sat in the shed for 8 or 9 months between uses. So I'm not bashing the little tractors, I just can't for the life of me understand why everyone of these guys just HAS to have an N! I do know that I won't have another as long as I have the ability to own and use my 300 Farmall with its (new) power steering, IPTO and 3pt. hitch. Even my old B JD is an improvement power-wise. Anyway, I hope you Ford guys don't think less of me. I'm really not knocking the N's. I just honestly don't understand what the obsession is. Thanks, Mac

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
