I also fall in the "younger" category at 30.
The first tractor I REMEMBER riding on was a 8630 JD.. I was about 6 then.. I'm sure I had rode along before then, it's just the first time I remember still. I grew up around the family farm, back then, I'd guess grandad and uncles worked about 1500 acres.. Now, it's about half of that..
