I use most of my vintage tractors for specialized tasks but no longer use any for the real work.

The 55 860 Ford has a 6' box blade permanently installed with a hydraulic top link. It comes out of the barn when any box blade work is needed, approximately twice each year.

The 51 Sherman combination equipped Ford 8N has a 5' rotary cutter permanently attached. It is used regularly each mowing season to mow the areas that do not look well when mowed with any of my larger mowers.

The 52 Sherman combination equipped 8N (1100+ original hours) is my most used machine. It has a carryall permanently attached within which are chain saws, hand tools, chains, fuel cans, etc. It is used year around as my quad.

I also have a 64 Ford 4000 SOS with a boom pole permanently attached that comes out of the barn on the rare occasion when a boom pole is the proper tool for the job or when I need to install something on the three point such as the post hole digger which is not permanently installed on another tractor. Removing the boom pole is easier than removing other, heavier implements from other tractors.

The 58 Ford 961-5 with trip bucket FEL, which I once used as my crane to move things around, is rarely used these days and is for sale.

All of the real work is done by the 94 Kubota (most satisfying significant purchase of my life) or one of the two new Kubotas (expecting to be the second and third most satisfying significant purchase of my life).

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on ... [Read Article]
