Welcome, though always been more of a fan of “Red” tractors (aka, IHC) than the “Green” ones myself! ;-)

I hear ‘ya re: driving one all the time and doing ‘real work’. As a former urban yuppie but weekend ‘gentleman farmer’ on some country acreage, I used to have a small collection of various restored Farmalls I was rather proud of. So when my rural cousin from Alabama finally came up to the PNW to visit, naturally I showed him some of my ‘toys’. But his somber reaction was surprising… until he mentioned that what they reminded him of was growing up, along with the grueling hours and hours he used to have to spend on one everyday after coming home from school (a totally different perspective on farming that we ‘city folks’ often take for granted)!
