How many tractors in your neighborhood?

[senecak19]

Not to 'black cat' you; I had to have one of my horses put down (Vet said kidney failure = they deteriorate quickly). Fortunately my other neighbour had borrowed his work's excavator to do some work around his property and he agreed to come over and dig the grave/fill it in. (a 'slab' of his favourite libation as payment)

After the Vet put 'Jack' down (I held his headstall during the injection) and my neighbour was digging the grave, I swapped my FEL bale spikes for the fork-lift tines. I was able to pick 'jack' up a slip him into the grave... he came to rest looking as if he was naturally curled down for a nap. It couldn't have worked out better.

You help out a neighbour as needs be.

I dont know how you got through that. Kudos to you. Tough to read let alone imagine.

I live 12 miles from the nearest town. It is only 2000 people. I live on the same place I was born on 64 years ago. 80 acres. I own 5 tractors. My next door neighbor has 5. Only have one or two households in our community that don't have a tractor. Most have more than one. I work about 5 acres of truck patch every year.

Only 4, 3 SCUTs, 1 CUT that I know of. Lots of farmers close with all types though.

Think there are only the 3 of us with compact tractors in this ~120 house neighborhood with 2 to 12 acres, but there are 2 farms on the road in and another farm where the Hessian POWs were.

My close neighbours all have one each. The produce farms in my area are usually syndicates and have many tractors. I have counted 13 tractors in one paddock when picking cabbages. John Deere seems to be the most dominant. Each tractor has one implement so they don't have to change them.
There are quite a few tractors here with no front wheels. They have permanent trailers fitted and steer by independent braking.

I'd like to see pics or a video of that. Why is that preferred over a trailer, wagon or pickup?

Well I'm down to 2 at my place, contemplating on a third a small one.
Over at the farm a bit over a dozen (13-14) and another joining the flock shortly a JD 4430.
Most neighbors have at least one or several.

Were we lived a few months ago there were strange looking tractors on the asparagus farms, huge skinny wheels and what looked like a single bed frame either side, the pickers lay on the 'beds' and cut the asparagus (below the ground) as the tractor crawled along, saves a lot of back breaking work bending all day.
