Around here horses were the norm until about 1938. Grandpa�s first tractor was a 9n but never bought anything else because it did what he needed on his dairy farm of 280 acres (40% tillable). He never pulled a two bottom plow with his horses. Said he could get them to do more work with a single bottom. When the Ford arrived he immediately saw the benefit of the two bottom tractor. He built a small pond with the 9n, cut hay, planted crops with it. They were threshing up till after WWII. By the 50�s grandpa hired neighbors with harvesters to get his crops out. My uncle started farming after WWII. He bought a Farmall H then an M, had several different colored utility tractors. He was working about 300 acres of crops with those tractors. When the New Generation JD�s came out he added a 4020 diesel. He never liked the 2 cylinder JD�s. Our family was mostly color blind. It mean�t more to have good service close by than to be loyal to one color (except for the 2 cylinder issue). Ten mile east of us was a Farmall dealer. Ten mile west was a JD dealer. During all that time the JD dealership stayed in the same family. The International dealership changed hands a couple of times and that just happened to be when the new generation JD�s came out and my uncle wasn�t happy with the latest International dealer. He used the M and 4020 until he sold out in the late 70�s.
I don't farm anymore but I bought a Farmall to play with because it was from a neighbors farm.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
