Hmm... I might then. I could actually probably get some shots of me operating the Massey Ferguson this weekend if I do any firewood work.

We've got chains for the Massey too... they weigh about 40 lbs each. I should've taken pictures this weekend, we changed the hydraulic/transmission fluid. 12 gallons worth.

I live in an apartment, so no tractor for me.

Ummm, to contribute somehow to this thread, I guess I'll add that my dad had a four-wheel-steering bright-orange diesel Kubota lawnmower. From what I remember, it had shiny silver hubcabs, too...

Talk about overkill.

Mine's in the shed. It's an old school mid 1980's Snapper with a briggs 16hp twin. We don't use it much since getting the walk behind mower. But with the quad up in VT, I'll need something to tug my trailer out of the backyard. So it may go into regular service again. This is why I never get rid of anything.

Guilty! Also a Simplicity fan too! I started with one of their Express tractors which I had for 6 years, and then last year upgraded to the Prestige! Mine also gets washed down and precisely parked in the shed after each use (heck I've been known to armor all the tires every now and then too ;) ) I just absolutely love the cut it gives and with the deck rollers, the lawn designs you can make are really cool! ;)

While I haven't yet upgraded to the snowthrower attachment for my Prestige, I do have one of their 8hp model snowthrowers too. I will also say, that my local Simplicity dealer is absolutely great and understands my "tractor love" issue :rolleyes:

you must either have a dedicated garage stall for all your lawn gear or have a barn!

The D-15 was the first trac I worked with. Roll bars eh? We were lucky to have a shield cover for the PTO!

And they never looked this nice

They wouldn't let me drive this one. Kinda "tippy."

What? Close front ends were usually pretty good if you had the rear wheels spread apart enough.

We've got a '49 Farmall Super C that still runs really good.

They just feel tippy because you sit up high on that platform above the rear axle. I have to duck my head when I park ours in the shed and the steering wheel just barely clears the door frame.
