Had every tractor out today except the M. Dead battery and no power to charge it. Massey was out of gas. Saving the gas for the generator.

The other two...

What a nice collection

I see you have a "belly mower" on one ....do you like it ?

SVcummins · Oct 30, 2020

Holy cow you’ve got as many real ones as i have replicas

David G · Oct 30, 2020

I am planning to get down to one work and one play tractor.

old · Oct 30, 2020

So then what your up to 9 tractor now?? I have that just in the Farmall Hs I have and the A/C tractors I have so you have a long ways to go to catch up to me LOL

Pete in MD · Oct 30, 2020

Rich,

How many of yours are runners?

SVcummins · Oct 30, 2020

Now why on earth 🌍 would anyone want that

old · Oct 30, 2020

3 of the Hs ran when I parked them. As for ones I am sure will run there is the Ford 841S, and 8N with backhoe. The 2 Oliver's 77 and S88. A/C D-17, W Speed patrol and a C. oh and the WD45. Also the IH584. and I am probably forgetting a few. Oh and the Case VAI and the 2 VAC and also the Farmall BA and I am sure there are a couple more and yes most do run or could run with a cleaning of the points like the 1935 JD-B that I almost forgot and it has been in the family since 1940

I agree. I have a tractor set up for each job and try to have a back up for most. Like a Farmall BA to cut hay and trying to get the A/C C back to a back up for cutting hay. The the Case VAC to rake hay and a couple that can do that job. Then the Oliver S88 to bale round bales and the D-17 for square bales and the WD45 as a back up for square bales or raking hay. And the Ford 841S for stacking round bales. And the 1950 8N ford is the backhoe and then the IH584 as all around job tractor

SVcummins · Oct 31, 2020

I only have two that run but even with those two it sure is handy eventually wanting to get the other two running then ill be able to mow with one rake with one bale with one and never have to unhook

old · Oct 31, 2020

The BA has a mounted sickle bar mower and I hope to have the A/C C that way also. BA has not had the mower off of it since I built it. The other tractor get parked in the machine shed with out the rake or baler hooked to them. The W Speed Patrol of course has one job and that is driveway work. The Ford 841S moves round bales and some gravel work as does the IH584

Both cubs have belly mowers. We use them to cut our lawn. Love them!

Traditional Farmer · Oct 31, 2020

Having a tractor for each implement is handy,like leaving the 10 ft cutter hooked up if I have an hour or two I can go brush hog but if I had to unhook a tractor and hook it up to the cutter wouldn't be worth the trouble.Especially during hay season having back up tractors and equipment turns a breakdown into no big deal rather than an emergency situation.I generally have about 20 tractors that I can go fire up and go use.Getting two more this weekend both my mechanics have tractors ready I bought and got them to repair.

David G · Oct 31, 2020

I am tired of working on all and buying parts for that many tractors.

My neighbors here really share equipment, one neighbor has the smaller, I have the midsize and another the large. We all take good care of each others and are responsible and fix things that we break. We each are responsible for maintenance of our own equipment, but the borrower fixes any breakage. I actually just sold my 6610 and H to the other two farmers once I find a replacement for my 6610.

I spend a lot less time hooking up equipment than I do keeping all running.

Texasmark1 · Oct 31, 2020

I have 5 and since I hay for a crop and work alone, when haying, I use all 5, each hooked to a different implement. Saves all that unhooking mentioned.

SVcummins · Oct 31, 2020

I would love to come see your collection

Traditional Farmer · Oct 31, 2020

I even added a JD its a compact Yanmar 855 with a loader handy little tractors, about got it ready to use.

ArleninOr · Oct 31, 2020

Nice looking crew. Just bought 5 more. Want to come help get them running?

SVcummins · Oct 31, 2020

Dad had a grey market yanmar it was a nice little tractor to have around
