Went to a farm auction Sat. 4/24 down in Somers CT. Could not believe the money people were paying for tractors. Old tobacco / potatoe farm with (50+) old tractors: Farmal H's, SuperH's, C's, SuperC's, 656's, 826's, 706's, a 1256, 2 Massey 180's, a 175, a few 135's, a few newer Masseys, and many others. All the H's went for around $3000, most of the C's went for $1600 and up. The bigger diesel tractors and the newer Massey's went more reasonable (for what your getting), in the $4500 to $5500 range. All these tractors were original cond., all rusted, poorly running (the ones that did run), no fenders on all the C's, bad rubber, no batteries, etc. etc. etc. Good restore projects, but needing a lot of work and money. A little Kabota B7100 with 3300+ hrs. on it, not running, flat dry rotted tires, rusty: $2500. Could not believe what people were paying. I guess the demand here in New England is high. Someone actually gave up $175 for an old siezed up 3PH broadcast spreader! I thought I paid too much for my Massey 1130 (100% good working cond.) last year at $3500, but I bet it would have gone for $8000+ at this auction as it's in far better shape than anything there. I guess people from CT have too much money! Felt badly for any poor old farmers that were there trying to pick up some needed equipment having to compete with "hobbiests". I'm not a farmer, but I feel their pain. We'd go hungry aweful quick if it weren't for them struggling to feed the country. Thought I'd pass it on.

On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
