Thats the first Tractor I ever Drove

LKE

Memory lane 🙂 .  I never drove one of the larger tractors.. My oldest brother had a John Deere I think it was a A but not sure.. I used to climb on it and pretend I was going through McDonalds drive through..😂 Then when he moved out and took the tractor.. my dad bought a Cockshut, don't know what model it was.. I know it was a big tractor and was Diesel.. He sold that about the time I was almost a teen and not pretend driving, LOL Only tractor I really drove that was bigger but not much bigger than a lawn tractor was a 1947 Farmall Cub. I tried to sneak out and drive that to plow the snow in the drive way instead of the shovel one day when dad was at work. The battery was dead so it wouldn't crank fast enough so I got the hand crank and got it going.. I think that was more work than just shoveling the drive way which I ended up having to shovel anyway.. That thing wouldn't move it's own weight in the snow.. No chains or weights on it yet. I just thought those big lug tractor tires would grip the snow..LOL

The only thing I know about tractors is that I hate driving behind them.  :lol:  Great work Kevin.

Thank you Marg.. Where I live you have to plan on leaving quite early because of the tractors.. really only during planting and harvesting is the worst time.. only a couple weeks usually.. But I know what you mean.. Gotta thank the farmers though as without them I'd have to grow my own food. I put in a big garden one year.. most everything grew including a lot of weeds.. Only thing that didn't come up was the whole row of beef roast.. They was expensive to plant and never came up.. I was really disappointed to only get potato's, carrots, and onions for my pot roast.. the meat is the whole point of the pot roast.. instead I had to turn vegetarian for a few month just to eat everything before it went bad, 😂

Ah, a Farmall Cub. Wish I had one. They are cute little buggers. Probably cost a small fortune if one could find one.

when I was a teenager we lived in a small town about 250 ipopulation and in the summer I drove tractors for the farmers. Pleasant lmemories.so I don't hate tractors. could not drive the new ones thy are airconditioned and the cab looks like a aircraft copit.

IKE

Many of the new ones are run with GPS.. not sure they even need a driver.. though I've never seen one without a driver.. I would think they would have to have a driver in there.. otherwise the ground bees wouldn't have anyone to sting when a nest gets run over during harvesting.. Though they are smart bees.. they'd probably go to the farm and sting the owner and he wouldn't know what happen, LOL
