I never was a big time farmer, but from when I started haying in 1974, I always had 3 tractors- one each for mower, rake and baler. It was a pretty humble outfit in those days- 8N on the sickle mower, McCormick W4 on the side delivery rake and JD 420 on the baler. If one of them went sideways, I'd have to make do, but if I could keep all 3 running, I didn't have to change implements. I upgraded as I could, and I think the year I quit I had an IH 674 on the mower/conditioner, Oliver 550D on the rake/tedder and Oliver 1550D on the baler, with a couple others waiting in the wings.
My BIL put up more hay than me, and he only had one tractor- and with a 3 point disc mower and 3 point rake, it seemed like he was changing over all the time. He finally got a nearly-new Kubota a few years back, and I figured that would help a little. Next time I was at his place, I looked around and asked "Where's the Massey"? "Oh, I sold it- didn't need it anymore, now that I have the Kubota." Oh, well, I guess if he enjoys mounting and dismounting 3 point equipment out in the sun, more power to him.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
