Hi everyone. This past weekend I went to a tractor pulling contest. These are quite popular in my area. You/your tractor are regulated by weight and put into a certain class accordingly. You're hooked to a weighted sled and you pull it as far as you can before spinning your wheels. There is a weight on this sled which moves forward putting more demand on your tractor as you drive along. Most go about 180' or so. I like things like this. You set up your chair and I can watch this all day long. Very relaxing. I grew up in farm country and worked on every farm imaginable. Farm equipment has always fascinated me. At one time not too long ago, I owned a Farmall "H" tractor. Sweet running machine. Sold it because at that time, I didn't use it much and it needed tires. This tractor was therapeutic for me. I would go on 45 minute rides with it. No phone. No tv. No music. No people. Felt much better when I got back. Many tractors at this event, were Ford 8N's. They pulled pretty well. I always liked these tractors because they had the expanded front end in comparison to the tricycle front end. I did a little research and found many available. Some restored nicely. I was thinking maybe in the Spring, look a little further into possibly purchasing one. I have a lot of grandchildren. Maybe get a small hay wagon and when they all come over, go on a hay ride. I posted some pics. Thanks for looking, Carmine.
. But, once I did see an 8N tractor that somebody put a small Ford V8 in. Not for me, but very creative, Carmine.
no rules at an ABATE party anyhow.
