I live near the south end of 446. As far as tractors, too many ahaha. All in all we've got an 806G, 706G (seized motor), 560D, 480 case (loader), Farmall B and a COOP E3 both starting slow restorations. All except the 560 have been in the family for a while. The 806 is the "big tractor" but is expensive to run relatively speaking. The 706 overheated and seized several years ago and since we had the 806 I wasn't on the ball and now its going to take more work. While it would be cheaper to just buy another, I spent more time on it as a boy than anything else. The B and E3 also sat far too long outside and now are going to take a lot to put back together, but are tied to my past as well, being the tractors my grandfather had when I was very young. The E3 was the first tractor I ever took a ride on and the B was the first I drove. The 480 was my mothers and is a great, handy tractor to have.
Frankly we have more tractors than what's good for us, but I can't imagine getting rid of any. Plus I've got a couple boys. Maybe as they get older they'll be interested. They love them right now. I will say none of them look as nice as yours!
When I first pulled the B out of the field after it sat for 7 years with one of my sons at the wheel. :)

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
