Saw this on another forum...... Thought it may be of help to some one here......From a guy in Indiana. Hello,
It's been an interesting day! I was scheduled to be gone today but ended up having to stay home and fix fence so the Llama stops getting out. The Lord must have known I needed to be staying home, and used that goofy little Llama to make sure I did! Just before lunch, a truck and trailer came up our drive. Before I could get out there the guy had dropped the ramp on the trailer and was sitting on our Ford tractor. Needless to say, he was VERY surprised to see me. After telling him in no uncertain terms what I would do if he came back around, I took down his plate # and kicked him off the place. I think this happened because I had listed our Farmall on eBay. We han't had any issues before then. A couple of bidders wanted directions to come out and see the tractor. I gave them my cell number and when they called, set up a time to come out. One of them was all eyes when he came out. I mean it looked like he looked like he was at a farm sale - eyes everywhere at once. He wasn't the one that showed up today but I wonder if he was working with the guy that did show up today. I received a phone call (on the same cell #) early asking if the caller could come out and see the tractor I had for sale. I told him that Saturday or Sunday afternoon would work. He wanted to know if I wasn't going to be available today and like a dummy, I told him I was going to be gone! Next thing I know (thanks to the Lord and the Llama I'm starting to be fond of) I get to watch a stranger calmly drive up our long steep driveway, stop and drop his trailer ramp and jump up on our tractor! I can't prove that it was related to eBay, but it's something to consider if you're thinking about selling a larger, vulnerable item on an auction site.

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
