Honestly, it wasn’t dull at all. I fucking love tractoring.
Exactly! Tractors are cool. And this community is for dull things. Shame on you, non-dull tractorist.
I am ashamed.
This has basically become a wood stacking community.
Shiny! Nice color too.
Mahindra 2126 with loader, backhoe, forks, and front mount snowblower. She’s purty.
I love my Mahindra! We have a 2638 with a loader and a 6ft mower. It’s been super solid for almost 7 years now.
Having used an open station tractor and mounted snow blower at -20F for years, I do not recommend it. I much prefer my heated cab in old age dotage. Ain’t nothing like blowing snow in your shirt sleeves and slippers.
you are atractored to it!
How can anything be dull with a tractor like that?
I have new logs and an old tractor. We should be friends.
The forks are by far my most used implement. Congrats!
As soon as my knee heals up better, I need to clean up wind damage from July yet. Plus I have 5 I need to fall before they become a real pain in the butt and threaten the house. So, my tractor and skidsteer and gator will get a workout then. And when that’s done, I need to fix the left hand HVAC blower motor to get ready for winter.
I’m hoping for next month.
Fuck yeah
I bought an old TEF-20 Ferguson tractor as a project, I got it running and it’s been too useful to pull apart and restore. I love driving it
As someone that just bought an acreage, very jealous!
At some point you will probably want to buy one. I grew up on a farm and did do farming myself as a secondary job.
As cool as a new tractor looks, try to avoid buying one. Tractors do not make money, but they do cost money to own. Tractors can last bloody near for ever if you want them to and they can still do the work.
My very first tractor was a 1941 Farmall H. I got it from a great uncle who had taken it all apart. I mean, the head, pistons, and con rods were all laying in his junk pile for a couple years. The exposed block was was open to the elements. I scrounged up all the parts from the pile and loaded everything up and hauled it home. A new set of sleeves and bearings, gaskets, and a valve job later, I had a tractor that I used as a utility tractor around the farm for 30 more years. I added a $150 worth of Stanhoist loader that needed some heat and beat plus welding at an auction and it was the most used tractor I ever owned. I sold it to a nephew a couple of years ago. He gave it a new paint job and decals and the old girl is still the belle of the ball.
