- Many over the years, + '05 JD-4410 TLB, but quite proud of my big green "Rolls": AKA: 2006 JD-3520 Cab, HST, Tunes & 2-way tiltmeter, Cobra communications and 6" (x2) rear wheel spacers for a lot less pucker-factor!!
Interesting point Marlowe made regarding the believability of a man sitting on a tractor. Whether or not you actually own a tractor,... if you post on this forum, you are automatically assumed to be connected to a "tractor".
OR,..at least I, personally,..in my mind,..without thinking much about it, just connect you with a tractor. Because I live in farm-country and am surrounded by men, (and women) on tractors and have been around tractors all my life,... I have a great deal of respect for all, or "most",.. tractor-people!!
That said,.. I, (not always), but often, am curious about the poster and will check his/er personal-profile. I am often flabbergasted to learn just "who" or "what" this particular,....."tractor-person",... "is",..or "was",.. their particular "life-experience",.. in general, a particular profession,.. or "job" experience,.. military experience,.. perhaps something personal like a health issue, from childhood perhaps that they have somehow overcome AND been successful at a job or profession that that particular health issue would "normally" have been a major deterrent.
Posters on this forum,... are such that (most) don't brag of their non-tractor qualifications or accomplishments or experiences in life that aren't directly related to the forum,... unless, of course "encouraged" to qualify the info or further describe something to us.
Sorry for the confusion here,..(it's late, I'm beat) but the point I'm attempting to make, with great respect to all,..... just how impressed I am with the "qualifications" of some of the "people-sitting-on-tractors"!!! You may be surprised at the personalities you may pass on a country road with an "old straw hat, just hangin down over that big tractor wheel". !!! You take him for granted never realizing "who" or perhaps "what" he/she "was" (or is,..in another life?)
Then, we come to the ordinary-everyday-tractor-person,.... nothing more (or less) than an ordinary-person-sitting-on-a-tractor, . . . .......and THAT, dear friends, is the "point" of this story,.. we all, appear to the rest of us as: an ordinary person sitting on a tractor AND we may,.. or may not,.. impress you?
BUT,... as Marlowe suggests,.... isn't their something more believable about "a-man-sitting-on-a-tractor?"Perhaps NOW huh?..(Hey, it's late, 3:55AM)
This is an interesting Thread,..and these are just my thoughts for now.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to "all" of "us"!!!! (ALL OVER THE WORLD)!!
CHEERS !
