Here in Maryland, the state helped put tobacco farms out of business in favor of no till crops,hay and horses - now the horses have left for WV,Del. and other states.
Every tobacco farm had at least one cub, A or 140 it seemed, the larger farms more because you needed to cultivate and examine the plants as you went along.
With the new crops the older tractors used for tobacco are old, obsolete and in the way. Some find a place as garden tractors - but the others I am sure are not as lucky.
On the farm here I thought my relatives were using them - turns out they have a new JD. Together we had 7 tractors - I am using my dads 140, he gave away his AC model B to a nearby farm for parts. I will be checking on the fate of the rest this summer (2 AC D17s, 2 cubs & a JD with no decals). First though I am trying to end up with my grandfathers 47 Super A and my uncles 404 sitting abandoned in a field in another county. Will update & figure out how to do pics as it goes along.
