Tractors

[Egon]

Looking thru my pictures and thought maybe some would enjoy this contrast.

Let's say the one on the right is not compensating for anything?

Or we can think of David and Goliah or Aesop's Mouse and a Lion? OK, I am done being smartdonkey, need more coffee.

I like how the new IH gets a head start stagger, probably needs it





Here's my contrast picture, my dealer let me "learn" with the un-shiny one. He would've sold it to me for 70% less than the shiny one - let's see, let me think.....

That shinny one would sure grace my driveway.

Here's a pic of beauty and the beast! Not quite the contrast of your two Egon.

 

[Egon]

I like the beauty on the left!

47 years between the blue one and the gray/red one.

. . .and how many people have a Tractor-Jack?

 

[Egon]

What is the one just to the left of the gray one Jinman?

That would be my 1974 Gilson Hydro-16. It's now buried in my barn, waiting on me to fix a deck spindle and rekindle its "flame." I also have this little Oliver to do a fix of the steering on. All good retirement projects, don't you think?

 

[Egon]

The Gilson looks nice. I always wanted one but ended up with a Sears 16 HP. Onan engined tractor way back when I could still remember when I had hair.

What contrast, they're both red aren't they?

Here's a mating pair of Chinese tractors.
You can see the yellow female is much daintier and prettier than the big red male.
But they are both dangerous and formidable working creatures.

For some reason I am hooked on that style of Sears tractors. I have a 16 hp that is in pretty good shape and an 18hp that needs a lot of work. Just passed up a 20 hp one on Craigslist that I should have bought. Don't know why, but I should have got it. Oh well, maybe the next one.

Those are impressive. Have there been offspring yet or will that be next season!

lol...
No offspring yet.
We're hoping to sprout a riding mower for the new lawns.
I'm not sure this will happen because I read the female is quite promiscuous and often looks for a mate with the largest PHD auger.

Best be careful as the pedigree may get lost!
