Well back when I was 15 or 16 (I'm 21 now) I decided I needed something to move my dead trucks around that I was building, stripping etc. Had to get a farmer friends down the road to come up with the tractor to tow and old s-10 out behind my house. I decided I needed a tractor to tow my junk around. I got a AC 5030 tractor with a loader. Was sitting behind a barn, sat for 12 years before I got it, had it for about 4 years. Year and a half ago I got it fixed and running again. Next I wanted something to dig with, Bought a JD 420C with a loader and has been real handy. I wanted and old JD tractor to putter around with, and a buddy of mine had an old JD 'A' that was desinted as a lawn ornament, for $300, bought it and worked on it most of last summer. It made it to plowday last fall. Neighbor had a JD70 skidsteer, he sold it to me and my dad, my dad used to run one where he used to work and wanted it, real handy. Buddy of ours had a JD 720 gasser he reluctantly sold to us, mostly because it cost alot to mow his fields with..7-8 gallons an hour with a 14ft batwing bush hog. I just finished rebuilding my 6 foot bush hog today, the 720 runs it pretty good. As far as my backround goes, I grew up near a few farms, always liked the tractors...I was the kid with a sandpile and tonka trucks when I was young, and it all came back to haunt me LOL. I got my first tractor out of a utility type need and it turned into a big hobby.
