Hello CONNOR 9988, Thanks for the comments and following the show! Let me start off by saying I'm not a Farmer (God Bless Them), my life's career has been in
mechanical design, metal fabrication, machining and prototyping. About 10 years ago I started a small hobby farm growing tropical fruit (bananas, mangoes, lychees,
papayas, etc. I love working with trees!),
5 years ago I decided things would be easier with a tractor, to pull around the utility wagons, fertilizer, boom bucket etc etc. Used tractors are not
cheap down here (I am) so I had been watching Craig's list. One day up pooped this add for an old Case tractor for a price that fit my budget. The owner wasn't
having much luck selling her as she didn't have a 3 point hitch or hydraulics, and was just plain old (like me). I was really just looking for a mule, she fit the
bill and home she came. Over the years I fixed her up and started to think maybe it would be nice to have hydraulics and a 3 point hitch, then I cold put a boom
pole lift on her, or a small grader blade, a pond scoop, and who knows what all. She's a great worker, very reliable, easy to work on and this would make her even
more useful. So, I started thinking and doing some research......
