I am in my early 50's. My earliest recollection of our tractors on the farm in the very early 1970's included: 806 Farmall (gasoline), Super M Farmall, 450 Farmall, 3010 John Deere (gasoline), and a 404 IH utility. A family friend had the local IH dealer and lost that dealership with IH about the time the 86 series would have just started coming out. That was part of the reason behind the move away from IH equipment. Another reason was the 806 needed a "zipper" on the engine. The 806 was traded for a 1955 Oliver and other changes brought us to a fleet of a 4320 Deere, a 4020 Deere and 3020 Deere (both gasoline), the 450 remained, and an H Farmall, during the latter half of the 1970's, with all of these remaining through most of the 1980's, except for the Oliver, which was traded for a 4440 Deere after 3 difficult years with the 1955. A 4630 Deere replaced the 4320 and remained on the farm for 22 years. The tractors remaining on the farm today, which were present in the 1970's only include the 3020 Deere and the H Farmall. We have a few older ones we have collected and use, which were built in the 1950's. As far as the ones used for farming, the 3020 still gets put to work, with a couple 1974 model year Deere's worked in the spring and fall, while the newest is a 1994 model.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
