The “Plow Dog”
Good morning Guys!
I am a member of several GT related forums out there. One of my buddies suggested that I Join here. He said that you are a great group of guys and would be a good fit. I likely know many of you anyway. I like most Garden tractors but IH Cub’s are my favorite. It was a 1772 that brought me the yellow and white fever about 7 years ago and I haven’t looked back since. I buy and sell some to help aid my craving for this hobby but I usually have at least 6 or so in my shed at any given time plus a few other brand tractors including Wheel Horse, Case, etc. I enjoy using my cubs for a variety of tasks but my all time favorite past time is furrow (field) plowing! Nothing like hooking a Brinly 10 or 12” behind one of these mini tractors and making them work for their “keep”!
I’m looking forward to being part of the community here. I’m a busy guy as a residential building contractor, a youth pastor at our local church, and a father of four children (ranging in age from 4-13). My oldest has become a “plow dog” himself and owns a 125 that we will begin restoring next summer and a highly modified 127 with Briggs V-twin for plowing. My second son owns a Cub 100 that we call “the Mule”. It has been at multiple PD’s across the Midwest already and is a great little tractor.
I consider myself a forum drifter as opposed to a lurker. I’ll be active for awhile and then I get really busy with life and drift away to focus on those things. Then when life stabilizes, I drift back. I know that doesn’t make for the best member but at least I’m honest about it...
Besides these little tractors, I enjoy competitive cowboy Action shooting and old cars. Mostly I enjoy spending time with my lovely wife and children. Again, I’m glad to be part of the community.
