Both my grandpas were farmers, one in the hills the other in the bottoms. When Mom and Dad got married and Dad came home from the Marines, both operations were combined. Dad's dad owned John Deeres from the early thirties on. Mom's dad owned a Fordson, but always preferred mules and draft horses. Dad always farmed almost exclusively with JDs but occasionally would buy and fix up a IH A or B and use it for light chores. I remember Dad, Grandpa, and uncle farming with a B, A, and a G but was to small to drive on of those. I started out on a '57 620. and the newest thing I ever farmed with was a '72 4620. in between we owned a 60 and 50 to a couple of 4020s , a 5020 and a 3020. Dad always had Hi lifts his first being a 440 couple of 450Bs a 455E and the last was a 455G. Although we still own the farm, we haven't farmed for years now and Dad is gone but Mom has kept Dads tractors A MT, two 1020s a 950 and a 1010. We don't need that many, but when they come in handy, we're glad we got them. As far as my work history. I've been a truck driver for thirty years now. Practically the only job I've ever had since high school. The farmer who rent the farm also exclusivly uses JDs but his lineup is from a different world than what my family farmed in.HJ
