The tractors on local farms during my youth are the ones mostly collected these days. Both sets of my grandparents and neighbors farmed, and I helped them. Most of the work I did was manual labor. If I drove a tractor, and it was rare, it was to pull a trailer or a sled of tobacco. I never really worked the land with a tractor until we bought this place in 1978, and it was then that I learned lots of things and continue to do so.
So, my question is directed to those that perhaps had more experience at a younger age than me. What tractors made in the 40s and 50s did you prefer to use in terms of comfort, reliability, and functionality? :?: I realize it might depend upon the job you were doing, but most families here had only one tractor, and it had to do it all.
