Last Saturday we held our annual tractor ride out of Marcus Iowa. We traveled about 60 miles had about 41 tractors which is one of our best rides. The weather was smoky but was a beautiful day.
For the first time I had all 4 of my brothers along, how can you beat that! With everyone getting older a person has to cherish days like this. Kenbob, my oldest brother drove my 44 on its first outing and it behaved well. I pull our people hauler with the 77 and had my niece and her daughters along. We had one breakdown so he rode in the wagon as well on the way back.
The picture of us brothers is in front of my brothers 60 Oliver which was our dads.

Once again we got to spend some time with our friend Oldpopper, always enjoyable!

The tractors are great but what is ever greater is the fact that 5 brothers are still sorta 'hanging out' together. I would imagine there might have been a few fisticuffs back in the day now and then but it looks like all is forgiven .... ha!
 
Tony your right just can't get those guys to dress classy. I have always wore bibs off and on, preferred choice now. Old popper turned me onto Roundhouse, absolutely love them.

Yes we are lucky, we don't do allot together but get along good.
Line up goes by age right to left, Kenbob, Duane (recently retired?) Ric (drove my 8n), his twin Randy (60 Oliver), then me. If what I hear is correct out of that crew I will be the only one in the work force by the end of the year.

In our neck of the woods it's all corn and beans, got to go over to Old poppers area to get down in the trees by the Littke Sioux River and that was our route this year.
