A lot of very good points have been made.

Yesterday afternoon one of the mechanics that repairs all of our trucks and car came out to the farm to get the rest of the hay he bought from us.

He wanted to look at the tractor that I was working on.

Ended up giving him a tour of our "fleet" of tractors.

He was most impressed that every tractor started within about 3 spins and ran smoothly.

Since all of our tractors are working tractors, it is important to us that each one will start and is ready to go to work.

Once we bring a tractor home, all the fluids are changed and lubrication maintenance is done according to the operator's manual.

The electrical system is next either repairing or replacing parts.

Mechanical and hydraulic repairs/replacement for safe operation.

Cooling system repairs are last.

Most of the tractors are left in their workclothes except for the really ugly ones.

A few of the ugly ones get "spruced up" along the way.

Any implements that are brought home are also refurbished to work and function as they were designed.

Some get a cosmetic makeover and some don't.

For us it all boils down to what we expect from our equipment and what time and money we are willing to invest to make it happen.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
