plowing a garden

[yak651]

Off work today, thought I would post a couple of pics of my brother using my case530 to plow a garden for next year. I come to this site to "dream" of getting a new compact tractor, but for now the '67 case will have to do...

A little landscape work I did with the case and some fieldstone. Hopefully next year we can start to build on it, was once all farm field but we've planted about 200 trees on it (some small, some a little bigger, whatever the budget allows...)

Very cool Yak. I like older tractors and would love to have one myself.

Don't forget to start a thread on your home when you start to build it. We all enjoy following new home projects!!!!!!!

You mean you can't smell it. You must have the Odor option turned off. I usually keep mine turned off due to some of the rambling posts/nonsense that gets posted (sometimes it gets pretty deep).

It's been a great fall season here in Wisconsin. With all the warm weather, I was transplanting trees up until Thanksgiving week.

I have a small woods behind my house filled with Ash, Sugar Maple, Oak, and Shagbark Hickory. Several neighbors have been the recipients of saplings that would die off as the overhead canopy closes them off from the sun. I sure wish I could afford a tree spade for the tractor. Then I would need a pod trailer to help with relocation of the transplants. It never ends.

My dad bought a Case 530 when I was in high school. I brush hogged, plowed snow, and graded the lane with it til I went in the service. It was a rugged beast as I remember. Dad drove truck for Case out of Bettendorf, Iowa back then. That plant closed down years ago. My first tractor was a Case pedal tractor when I was four. All three of us boys got a Case toy tractor and a piece of equipment one year at Christmas. We had to share the implements. I got the disk, my older brother got the plow, and my little brother got the grain wagon. The tractors were all 830s. When I got a little older I got a battery operated toy dozer. Those are good memories.

I guarantee you there ain't a compact on the market that will turn that sod with that plow the way that old Case is doing in the pictures.
