The Tractor Thread

While the JD MT was the first tractor I operated by myself doing field work for hours, the tractor I first operated was on my grandpas farm. It was a JD just like this one with the hand clutch. A small girl couldn't reach the foot clutch on most tractors, but pulling that big clutch lever was easy. I had to stand up as this girl demonstrates here.

I was posting another video that you might enjoy @Marie Mallory, and then discovered I had edited the one with the 10 old tractors and replaced it with one about a little girl driving a JD with a hand clutch. It reminded me of myself at that age. You might enjoy watching it. It is short.

Ok , if my replies are short, it because I lean forward to type, nothing personal.
Yes I'd like to see the other video.

Definitely interesting video to me, made me think a lot, thought about why daddy never owned a tractor, plowed 100's acres with mules for grand daddy, then when doing it for his self at home, he did it with horses, maybe because of all us kids couldn't afford one is why. I'm sure like me he would have loved it. I noticed some of those had snow chains on them, and wondered why not put power steering on all of them? Mine is manual steering which is fine since I have power to turn it. One of my brothers Bobby just bought a bigger Massey Ferguson with power steering last year. Love the video and saw some that I haven't heard of before. "Thanks" Faye.
 
I don't know a thing about tractors but I 'm going to show y'all pictures of my son's tractor.

We replaced some gravel in the driveway, and the first picture is with the spreader thingy.

The second one is him spreading something in the garden.

He loves his tractor. :) It has a tiller, some kind of plow, and some kind of rake attachment.

Well, he is lucky I am not his mother or he would be watching me operate it. Have him show you the basic operations. Then, I bet you get the bug and may end up getting your own. You are a good mom to sacrifice your own personal enjoyment for your son. :ROFLMAO: Your place looks prime for some tractor action. ;)
