My Dad brought a almost new 540 with a loader back in the late 50's. No power steering and a mechanical trip manure bucket. Of course I thought anything was better than doing it by hand which we did before getting the 540. We thought it was the greatest thing around. I think about it allot when I'm cleaning out my barn with 4 wheel drive, modern day loader, and heat, air conditioning, and stereo.
At the same time my Dad got a 550 narrow front gasser. It was a ok tractor, the big thing I liked was it was our first power steering tractor. It never seem to run right but I will blame my Dad's lack of mechanical ability to fix things and tune a engine to run right. We got a smaller 550 Oliver to add to the fleet in the early 60's and I liked that allot better. I made the mistake of saying on here a few years back that the Oliver was a better tractor, caused a uproar with a couple of our friends to the North. They really aren't in the same class one being a row crop and the other a utility tractor.

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
