Way off topic, but I got this young twenty-something guy at my work. His family is one of the big farmers in my area 8000+acres (eastern Nebraska) and he knows I'm out farming my 160 (it's the home place that we rented for years. Through a lot of hard work I was able to buy it from the landlord over the years). I don't know if it's because he knows I do my farming with a Farmall M and a 303 combine. But he's always kinda bragging and doing a put-down. Like when I was talking about my 303 he says "oh, we buy two new combines every year". Then just the other day I was talking about having to replace a tire on my M, and how that our CO-OP doesn't have it's tire truck anymore. And he starts talking about how THEIR coop will come out "anytime we want" to fix a tire for them, "because we're such big customers". Then he launches into a spiel about how during harvest "the COOP calls US up and asks how long we would like them to stay open that evening to take grain from us".
Maybe I'm just being over-sensitive about this guy. But I had to buy our farm from the ground-up after my Dad spent alot of years working here as a renter raising us kids. It sure wasn't easy at times, and we're still here despite everything. When quite a few bigger guys in the neighborhood went belly-up and are long gone.
Sorry if I'm giving everyone a downer with this. But it feels good to get it off my chest.

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
