Great article, we are a year into this hobby and have collected two tractors, one with loader, one with back blade, and a couple of horse drawn sycle mowers. Good info for someone new.....thanks

I enjoyed your article. My dad's first tractor which I still use for fun, is a 1951 8N Ford. It runs great and I just reworked the lift. A neat trick for lift problems on old tractors is to drain the case and refill with kerosene. Drive around slowly for about ten minutes working the lift lever. Drain case and refill with proper oil or fluid. If the problem is sludge and dirt, this may be a quick and cheap fix. If you have to go into the case, check the lift handle adjustments first. Time and wear causes adjustments to change. Another great and useful attachment is a three point boom. Cheap and easy to build. Thanks again for the article.

Articles and info on implement usage are far and few between. More of the same is helpful. Keep up the good work.

Great articles. I'm glad I found this website. I own a TO20 with a bush hog, a 4ft disc, an auger, a lifting boom and a drag harrow. The auger in particular is great as we just fenced a pasture. I'm considering a box blade with teeth and possibly a scoop pan. Any suggestions on their uses will be appreciated.

Interesting article! I just took early retirement this year and have "inherited" rights to my son's tractor and one acre garden spot.(Though the tractor is actually the one my father used as I was growing up!) I am faced with discovering how to plow the spot for a family garden. Can anyone help?

I really enjoyed this article; three point hitches are difficult to adjust on bushhogs--good explanation; thanks also for saying it's easier for 2 people to hook up--have spent lots of sweat and frustration!!

Very enjoyable ... and a backhoe is also a great attachment.

Great article......thank you so much. I ve been in the computer business for over 35 years, just got me a new Kubota, getting ready to retire. This gave me a good overview as to what the implements are for. Thanks again !!

Hi -- that was a very interesting article. I grew up in farming country in SW Michigan. My Dad was an engineer, however, and in 1947 he invented sickle guards for the company he worked for in Buchanan, Michiga. That company was purchased by National Standard in Niles, Mi in the 1960s and they sold the patent to some company in Germany. Anyway, I am trying to find some sickle guards for my 3 brothers as momentos of our Dad. Does anyone know where I could find such a thing They were steel forged when Dad first invented them. They were used on John Deere and Allis Chalmers and some other tractors as well. I d sure be happy to find some. Thanks
