Tractor
Kubota L3430 and a "50" Ferguson TO-20
Reside in the UP of Michigan. I have lived here for close to 60 years which if you ever meet me will explain a lot. Don't farm anymore just play and make fire wood to burn during our 6 months of winter 'global warming'? I'm in the process of - sort of - restoring the old Ferggy as it was my dad's tractor and I remember well him bringing it home. The Kubota replaced a 1 ton ford dually diesel I used for snow removal. Since I sold the truck and got the tractor my list of "winter friends" has dwindled greatly..?? hmmm Looking forward to picking your collective brain for some tips..

Lots of old guys here but 65 is the new 50. Plus we've already done it all wrong at least once so we have relatively good advice to offer.

If learning by mistakes is a factor, then I must be a genius. So, some of my advice could well go up in smoke.:D Welcome to the site.
