I'm 74 and I can remember our team, Bob and Jack. Bob was a big black Percheron. There were actually two Jacks. We got rid of one and got another Jack. Both were sorrel Belgiums. Bob was my horse an Jack my younger sister's. She never knew they were switched. We (when I say we or mine or ours it actually means my grandad and uncle) did a lot of work with those 2 horses. Walk behind single furrow plow, sinle row walk behind cultivator, 2 horse riding cultivator (luxury), riding International 5 foot mowing machine etc. Was a lot of work for horse and man. I was probably about 4 when my uncle bought his first tractor. A Case VAC. I can remember my grandad arguing about the way the tractor plowed. I was allowed to ride on Bob during all the work except mowing. We brought in a lot of loose hay and would unhook one horse in the barn and use it to operate the hay fork to unload the wagon into the mow. I helped tramp down the hay in the mow. We had Bob until I was in high school. I still have a lot of horse equipment and harness and other old farm things but I unfortunately got rid of the riding cultivator and mower. So much for this nostalgic rambling. The old days we remember romantically but I really don't want to work that hard now. I complain about hitching up 3 point equipment. Phil

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. 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
