Simply amazes me that this amount of knowledge and talent can be found gathered up in one place. I think this is a positive example of progress because with out the computer we would never have met.Right now this is the only positive progress that has been made for a long time.Wish we could take some of the other progress back and give the farmers back their land and get all the old values and beliefs back. Thats another reason I like this forum so much because just about everybody on here shows respect to one another and still try to help their neighbors.Been a good while since I have felt any of that.Hope this forum keeps going for a long long time I am pretty sure it will if we all continue to help our neighbor Yours truly,River Bottom Farmer

One reason more people didn't respond, is the thing called field work. Kind of cuts into one's day at times. Lots of folks read messages but are too tired to type out stuff. More stuff gets read than gets responded to. I've heard that the Amish don't use rubber tired implements because some of the rubber products are made with slave labor and that is against their religion. I respect the Amish for standing up for their principles.

I read your post about being disappointed that more people did not respond to your recent success. I knew what you were feeling, due to the fact that I to had recently got mine running. Do not let our silence diminish your pleasure. I assure you that we felt it also. You may not realize it now but your true success is with your children, not the tractor. In reguards to the Hoe To The Head kid. He may have been more scare of what he did to his sister than what he thought you were going to do to him. That good care of those kids.SDE

I couldn't agree with you more, it's just like a great big neighborhood where all of the farmers rallied to help out the one who needed it, and didn't expect anymore than a thank you when done. Another thing I find amazing is that most of these tractors we love are old enough that when first delivered to the farm, that farm may not have even had electricity. Now we can talk about them on the world wide web.

Rusty...your post reminded me of the time I was a teen and working on farms for the summer. A local farmer had a mild heart attack. Several of his neighbors (I worked for one of them) showed up with their balers, tractors and wagons and finished his hay crop for him. That's just the way it was here in rural Wisconsin. The same thing was true with my folks' home back then, and our home today. Without the help of friends and neighbors, we might not even have a house to live in. We all helped each other. I wish I saw more of that today. Every once in a while, I do still see it. It's like an Amish barn raising.

Hi Rusty, There are some farms about 45 minutes away still don't have electricity. They are owned by the Amish. They have generators installed to run their milkers and their milk coolers. They don't use it their homes. Spring houses and cans were outlawed sometime ago. Hal
PS: They still horses and mules. Even pull a baler with 3 mules that has an engine. Same thing with a rotary mower.

Yes, we have the Amish not too far from here also, and we compete with them at auctions, particularly the auctions that are offering the antique horse drawn machinery. They also bid on the smaller tractor drawn machinery. I know they don't own or drive cars or trucks, instead they will hire someone to drive them to the auctions, and hire a truck to haul the stuff home for them.
