Amen to all that! That tractor doesn't even have a hydraulic clutch on it. At 13 it was all I could do to press it in!!
I've disked, (moldboard) plowed, planted, drilled, sprayed, cultivated, rotary hoe'd..... and that's just some things I did in the seat of that tractor. I think it's cool too that I've been the only guy to work on it in the last 20 years too. Makes me proud to see it still going!
