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!

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
