    I believe it was Thomas Wolfe who coined the phrase “you can’t go home again”. Robert Frost said, home is where you go and they have to take you in. The mind is wondrous and powerful , watching your videos the smells and experiences of my childhood return. I am once again on a 1937 Allis, my grandfather’s pride and joy, spreading “gold” on the fields. I often think if we could require our leaders to sit on a tractor for hours, maybe they would be more judicious in their decisions. Thanks Pete, just keep bring those wonderful memories.

    two comments Pete...first what your spreading on your fields is so much better than what's being spread in DC. Second I realize your operation is fairly small but I love all the work you do with 60-70 year old 2 wheel drive tractors. Not everyone needs a huge four wheel drive or track driven tractor. The work still gets done.

    Those sure are some good sounds. You've inspired me to learn a little more about working on this old equipment. I honestly didn't realize how much I truly do enjoy it. I bought my first Farmall (a 1948 M) recently and I'm having the time of my life with that tractor. My son is really getting into it as well, which makes it that much more fun.
    PS: there's nothing cooler than when you throw the lever to switch from gas to diesel on the MD. I could watch that 1000 times!

    When my Dad got home from the Army in the late 60's he got himself his first diesel tractor-a 706 with blower. He had a neighbor, Herb who had a Super C and thought it was just the cat's meow. One day my Dad got stuck crossing a creek on the 706 with a cultivator on the 3-point and called Herb asking if he'd pull him out. Herb came over on his Super C and my Dad was doubtful whether it'd pull out the 706. He found out the shovels on the cultivator were what got him stuck so he dug them out but he let Herb go ahead a try pulling. As soon as he let the clutch out the 706 pulled itself out. Herb exclaimed "Did you see that!? Did you see that!?" Dad let Herb have his moment of glory with his beloved Super C by letting Herb believe his little tractor actually pulled him out.

Not to the extent as you did but it feels so great to get them out there in hay season and know what you did and see all the improvements. I look forward to all your videos and it makes my day better. Thank you and have a great day!
