Drove to the farmers market in Birmingham yesterday and bought a pallet of pumpkins for our church fall festival next Saturday. Supposed to be 300+ in there, $275 for them. The poor Massey wouldn't lift it. Had to unload a bunch into a wagon. Last year the pallet must have been lighter..... It picked it up no problem.

There are white pumpkins around here this year, besides the regular orange. Never saw such before. One year I was on a trip out to AZ and on the way back there was trailer after trailer full of pumpkins being hauled off the farms in NM. I guess that is a big crop out there.

I agree on the tractor needs to be upgraded for a load that large. Large loads on small tractors is dangerous....ask me I have a LS MS2-25 and even with 4 spacers on the rears, I have to be careful how I handle big loads.....but its handy and very useful so it gets used a lot.
 
Seeing a lot of the white ones here in Ohio that never saw before. The Orange are what we called cow pumpkins, not good for pies. Used to be a light tam pumpkin that was good for pies but have not seen any for guessing 30 years when we lost our seed .
 
Pumpkins look like Sugar Babys. Pie type pumpkin would be denser than ornamental
so very well could be much more weight.
