THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB...

I have to laugh, as soon as one person says a tractor is great, a flock of vultures descend to take them apart. I have been on Cubs, a, b, 140, 240, H, M, f-12/14, f-20, f-30, etc. and I all I can say is this, pick the right tool for the right job.

Have you ever had to weed 150 ft rows of carrots, beets, onions, lettuce? Well all I can say is that with our ole cub low boy, I sure could save the time and not get a tanning for taking out the rows. Did I mention I hate using a hand hoe? Or weeding by hand? There is a lot to say about the fuel efficiency of the cub, it is easy on the wallet. Now if you were going to plow 65 acres, no. You wouldn't clip coupons out of the Sunday paper with an axe would you? Just like you wouldn't chop wood with a pair of scissors. If you spend the time, spend the money for quality parts, and do it right, once you rebuild a cub, you won't need to take the hood of until the next rebuild. Our 1958 cub has been rebuilt twice, 1977 and 1990, and it is still going strong. I am 46, and I have been driving it since I was 7 when we put some wooden blocks on the pedals so that I could reach them with my short legs. It will be the one of the last tractors I will let go when I am 90 (we have over 40 tractors now).

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
