Love it. As far as I am concerned there is no better tractor for grinding feed than an old tricycle machine. I use my Farmall M. That's all it does so I never have to hook up the grinder. You never sheer pins because the pto can be feathered easy. I think bearings and things in the grinder last much longer because the smaller tractor "gives" with the load instead of forcing the grinder through it. I can get that grinder backed into any little spot with that zero turn tractor (mine has power steering). The only time it isn't quite enough tractor is when I throw in an alfalfa bale and the flakes are thick - it makes her bark pretty good. Of course, if I had double the horses on it I would jam it full and then be hard on the grinder so I guess it's a good thing.

I'd like to get a new grinder with scales but I have an alternator on the old M so I guess it would still work. I'm not sure what the live pumps on the old Farmall are rated but I'm doubting it could power a hydraulic unloading auger. That's ok - my grinder is in fine shape.

I can honestly say I haven't seen an Oliver in these parts since I was a little boy and that was only one tractor. I don't know of any dealer that sold them anywhere near us. Even now I can't say that I have ever seen one at the big tractor show held each fall in town. It's kind of odd. I do think the combines are neat looking old machines and would like to have one, but again, I've never seen one in person. Not many farmers can say that I bet.
