Good Saturday, Mike and Melissa...my hat is off to those responsible for such a professional interp display of the tractor...labor of love. Thanks. Be safe as you continue 😊
Melissa, it is refreshing seeing both of you participate in life with smiles to boot. Thanks for taking all of us along on vacation and keep the smiles a rolling.
Mike, I was friends with a guy in graduate school from Titusville Pa. that pronounced radiator the same way you do. Like you, a great guy too. Check out the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn Michigan if you get a chance. It's incredible.
My great grandfather bought one of these in Big Tractors in 1913 in Fergus County Montana. It was the first of it's kind in those parts. It proofed so unreliable that he lost his whole homestead over 800 acres and all he owned because of the ordeal. It should be noted that this tractor was the Emerson Brantingham's DOWNFALL as well. Case Tractor bought them out directly because lawsuits from all over the world rained down on this company because of this tractor. But it was a sight to behold!
When tractors first came into use they plowed with horses and disked with the tractor. Reason.The horses had better footing and the tractors took a lot of time to change gears
It makes me nervous to run the 50-year-old John Deere 2020 we use to bush-hog the pastures with no modern safety features, but seeing that monstrosity makes me feel a lot better. At least I don't have a rake man with a torch and a can of gas!
Thanks for the information.
Cool Tracker
Awesome, we have come a long way in regards to tractor's. I am glad to see Melissa and you having fun and enjoying yourselves.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Mike and Melissa very nice Mike do you think any of the modern tractors of today will be around in a 100 years time

Very interesting, thanks for showing The Big Horse! You recon it was a 1 HP? 👍👍👍
It was 30 HP
THAT WOULD FUN TO RUN THRU THE TRAILS BACK HOME,UP FOR THE CHALLENGE MIKE?
Now that's a tractor.
It makes me nervous to run the 50-year-old John Deere 2020 we use to bush-hog the pastures with no modern safety features, but seeing that monstrosity makes me feel a lot better. At least I don't have a rake man with a torch and a can of gas!
Not to be brash it doesn't have a power take off that wasn't invented yet it's a belt pully
With inflation that tractor would cost $71,274.00 today. Neat tractor?
That's cool. Where was Melissa's clap ?
That price would be equivalent to about $68,000 today.
that thing is more like an elephant
Could I be the first?
