Hi Gang;
This is the yard of Aeron Tractors about 30 miles up the coast from here. He worked for a large MF dealer who has closed down, established himself as a dealer in cheaper lower HP tractors and new smaller sized machinery.
This area still has a lot of smaller family run stock rearing & dairying farms who dont use huge machinery. The major machinery & tractor manufacturers only build huge machines to-day, so smaller farmers are buying small sized implements from Europe especially Italy. Cheers David

I really appreciate your pics - it's great to see how you guys do things. I do have a couple of questions too. For one, are cabs mandatory there? seems like most small tractors have cabs there. Second, Are there a lot of chinese tractors there? They seem to be more and more small chinese tractors around. Thanks!

Tell the dude to put the freakin' loaders down!!

I've seen this so pointlessly over the last few years, and a lot of tractors have loaders that sink down. Know of one feller whose car was crushed by leaving a big deere loader up overnight.

I wonder if they know how dangerous it is to leave those buckets up in the air like that. Some guy comes out with the kid to look at them he gets inside and bumps the loader control and his kid who is standing in front of the tractor becomes road kill. I see this a lot all over and it makes wonder why anyone would take such a chance.
I was taught right off always let everything down to the ground when leaving a vehicle.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

That's the trend here in the northeast states also. We have very few large operations requiring large expensive equipment. The large operations with the huge equipment often hire out to small operators when big machines are needed. For the most part though, McMansions seem to be growing about the best on the good farm land.

The company I work for have the loaders up, but they do have safty struts on the rams. Now this is safe and ok till a salesman showing a farmer round a secondhand tractor lowered a loader with double acting rams! Pushed the ram nut down inside the ram, split the ram, oil everywhere! Oh how we laughed! (Boss did"nt)
