We're on the east side of the state, so that'd be way too far for one. Like I said, it's one of those machines we plan to upgrade some day, but for now there are other implements higher up on the list and this actually does a pretty good job for what it is. We put 7" shovels on it and it's only a little on the small side for our 1855. I figure if we bought a newer/better one, 18' would still be a good spot to be in, just get it with some good levelers on the back.
This Oliver one I picked up in Southern Wisconsin when I was down there horse tarding for fender tanks with Paul Puestow. He had a friend/neighbor that was selling it so on a whim I bought it and drug it home 35-40 MPH the whole way. I even had a ratchet strap from the corner to the pin, which made it considerably better, but still couldn't go fast. At the time we were looking for something a shade wider than what we had for cultivators, and we already had 3 at home so most of the parts are plentiful. We've still got 5 full shank assy's on the one parts machine, but the springs are junk.
If we can get by another year or 2, then I'd consider selling 1 or 3 of these ones and upgrade. Picked up a little more land this year, so a cash crop is in the works. Hopefully we can make it work out.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
