You know you hace too many tractors when you cant
decide which one of 5 of the 'older' ones to rake
hay with this morning.Finally decided upon
"Chloe",the Farmall SuperC.

Do you have one tractor for each implement plus spares? Then it ain't enough!

I have a friend who once had five or six Allis-Chalmers. The earlier models took so much time to change implements that he dedicated one to cultivating. He put a cultivator on and never took it off. Had two or three others mainly for certain operations.
 
For me it's between 2. My Oliver 1600 or dad's Massey 285. 285 gets more of the up the road work as it's faster and the 16 gets more of the home fields and if the 285 is down for one reason or another.

I leave my 3pt wheel rake right on my 1550 Oliver all summer. There's 9 more here for other things if I need one.
 
My brother has about a dozen, all 1 breakdown from being a junker. I farmed with 2 newer tractors but still a lot less money invested and kept them up in excellent condition. A lot less work. Seems to me, if they are in poor condition you have to have more and more and more tractors to get anything done. I always wanted to farm, not run after parts and work on them. Using collected tractors for some light jobs is different, if restored....James

Well...... I do have more guns than tractors!!!
 
Yea I hate hooking and unhooking the DB 770 stays hooked to the rake the Zetor stays hooked to the mower and the Cockshutt/Oliver 1650 stays hooked to one of the NH 851 balers.All have backups and the backups have a few backups.
 
Have to have at least eight. One for the discbine, one with the tedder, one for the rake, one on the square baler, one on the round baler ready to roll if rain threatens, one with a loader to store the round bales, and one for the other jobs like pulling wagons, trim mower, rotary mower; and one for the disc mower.
