Amazing tractor guy

Howdy
I was at a small tractor show today, or maybe it was just small because of the weather. I stopped to talk to a guy who was putting rope lights on his Super MTA for after dark parade, he had 7 tractors at the show, from a Regular up to the Super MtA. My wife asked him if all those were his all lined up in a row, he said "thats a few of em". He said that he had just gotten into collecting the red tractors in mid 2006 and now has 48 of them, thats right 48. To top it off his wife insisted that he buy the restored Super MTA!! Turns out that he lives less than 10 miles from my house, I will definately be checking out this guys collection soon.

Have fun looking at those tractors, I know a person who wants to take me and my Dad to a place that has about 116 tractors.

Think thats bad; I've got 94 red tractors, all running...

Hey Deer Slayer, what I find amazing is that the guy buys a tractor every other week, he's only been at it for 2 years. I've been wanting to wash and wax the family car for 2 years, havent quite got to it yet, but I have put a lot of miles on it driving around looking at the tractors for sale. Mostly green and orange ones around here.

My wife wants to kill me now at a measly 5 tractors. Certain death will come if I break the 10 mark. That guy must be building a shed every other month.

I never wash my truck, too busy going to tractor auctions; want 100 tractors by spring. 10 of these are antique pullers...

Hi
We are in wisconsin, 35 miles west of Green Bay.
I never realized how big this tractor hobby is (is hobby correct or would disorder be more accurate?) I got into this by accident, I had a heart attack in April and I didnt bring my hot rod out of storage (didnt feel comfortable driving 100 mph with all the drugs I'm taking). Somehow while looking for a new toy a 6000lb M with a loader followed me home. A nice small toy for a 72 year old guy with a heart problem, but thats the stuff that keeps the heart going. I want to find a Cub but prices on them are a bit out of line right now so I'll wait and see what things are like in the spring.

Hey Bob S. Where west of Green Bay are you located. I am in Green Bay and I would enjoy visiting with you and this other fellow that you speak of. I have 3 MD's and one H so far. One MD runs and the other two are parts (for now). My H is in the process of an engine redo. My email is open, feel free to give me a shout sometime.
