Ford 9480
 

Could not help but to hop on the 1450 this morning and go down to my neighbor's . They had the big Ford out, and a yellow one with a White planter. I don't know for sure what the Ford was doing other than preparing the soil for the planter.

Everybody here has a tractor!

Nice pic from the farm.


Looks like to me that they are just sort of scratching the surface with a field cultivator.

Very cool pic, John!

A JCB on a planter? That's a first for me! Normally I only see them running liquid manure tanks due to their quick road speed. And even then tgey are few and far between!!! Nice ford/buhler 4wd!!! That's one of my favorite jobs us field cultivating and pulling the crumbled or packer behind it.

Good tractor (Ford), spent many hours in a similar one doing just what he was doing; fluffing the ground up with a field cultivator, although we didn't run a crumbler behind it. Couldn't find any pics of that series but this is as close as I could find for running a big boy

As for the JCB, I don't think we have any of those around here, none the less running a planter! :bigeyes:

We had a JCB come in on trade up here in montana of all places. It was a fun tractor to drive. It would take corners like a sports car:biggrin2:;.

Thanks guys. I thought the operation was worth checking out, its neat to see what is being achieved, and with what equipment. Can't help being a tractor fan!

Shaner - The Ford read: Versatile under the Ford name/sticker. At least I know the what the yellow tractor was,..... a JBC. Guess I'll find out later what was planted.

Earlier this spring, there was a ridged frame- Case doing the heavy disk work.
