Originally posted by ryan81986: I've been looking at purchasing a Farmall tractor for minor work around the property and to restore/take to shows. Lets see what you've got!
Kubota B7800. It has the Kubota quick attach front, to allow either the bucket or the complete pallet fork frame. 3 point implements include a Landpride landscape rake, which also has a blade that can drop down to make it a scraper. Also a PTO-driven wood chipper. The older I get, the handier this thing is.

Teaching my wife to drive the Ford 3600. Likely the scariest thing I have ever done in my life!

The 1988 John Deere 750 it replaced. GREAT tractor, owned it for 28 years, zero repairs that weren't a direct result of operator stupidity. Only reason I moved up is for a cab and power steering.
The 1938 Farmall F14, bought as a non-running toy, the target of a ridiculous amount of money, recently sold as I never played with it any more.
"Guido", the 1970-something (as a guess) Pasquali P986. 20HP one-cylinder diesel, 3x3 transmission (9 gears), true 4wd and fully articulated. In low-low at an idle, snails pass it up. In high-high at full throttle, it'll do nearly 20MPH. In the lower gears and 4 wheel lock, it'll climb the side of a barn.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

1949 Farmall, this was my FIL's tractor. It sit for at least 15 years +. I put a new battery in it and it fired right up, we have been using it for past few years and now we finally decided to get it returned to factory condition.

Man, y'all got some FANCY tractors! I might have to go get a pic of my old Mahindra 485DI and post it up here, just to represent the workin' man....
