Sam: A tractor without a swinging draw bar here is useless. Almost all of our towed implements are made for a swinging draw bar. You can turn tighter/sharper with a swinging draw bar. The pivot point is 18 inches or so back further. Those pickup hitchs like you guys use do not turn very short. Most guys over here would have the tongues torn off in the first week.
You use more three point mounted implements than we do. Most tractors over 150 HP here rarely use the three point. Many of the tractors I used to sell would have the lift links taken off and laid on a pallet when we delivered them. When they were traded in years later the same pallet would have the lift links still on it. A bare back tractor, no three point, will bring thousands less on resale. Go figure that one out.
Also we used semi trucks and trailers here to move grain/forages moire than you do. We hual more miles on average than you do. It is common to haul grain 100 miles to a better market here. Even the larger dairies are hauling silage miles back to the farm now. So the distances traveled are greater.
Also most tractors over here do not have the high road gears your tractors do. A matter of fact most states here limit the legal road speed to 25 MPH.
A fellow here had a JCB he used in a custom hay buiness. He has gotten tickets for speeding with it.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
