Moved from NY city to Iowa about 10 years ago to raise a family. Bounced around a bit as kid. Lived in Indiana, Arizona...but spent my last two years of high school and my 20's back in NY, my place of birth, before my move to Iowa.
Long story short....got a little old farm house/ big fixer upper...on three plus acres out in the country. Luckily my neighbor is a saint and has used his tractor for years to get me out to the highway in the winter cuz the plows take a little longer than I can wait to clear our gravel road. He always told me I could just come and get his tractor, but I was never comfortable with that. If I can't replace something if I break it, I don't want to borrow it!
Finally got my own tractor with lots of good advice from the people here on this site. Farmall 560 gas. My cousin who actually owns farmland has given me some equipment since he is constantly upgrading. Of that old equipment was a case 2 bottom plow. It's OLD...rusty... had a flat tube tire which aired right up. Some grease and some WD40 and my garden is now a LOT bigger than originally planned. =)....
I never understood why people talked with such glee about plowing...tractors etc...BUT...NOW I DO!!! My original intent was just to have it for mowing and snow removal...I swear I didn't want to stop turning dirt!!! It was almost hipnotic watching that dirt turn over. Thank GOD my wife is around otherwise I wouldn't have a strip of grass left on my little three acres!!

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances.
