This afternoon there was a tractor show at my house, and I was invited. It started innocently enough. I moved some trailers out of the way with my newish-to-me B6000 (12.5 pto horsepower) so I could mow with my little riding mower, a John Deere L100 (17hp). I decided to take a picture of the two together.
They are surprisingly close in size.
While they were posing, another tractor showed up!
It's a Satoh (Mitsubishi) ST1440. 14 pto horsepower, 4 wheel drive, 3 cylinder.
Within a few minutes, a couple of other Japanese tractors showed up.
They were a Yanmar 1401D and a Yanmar 186D. The John Deere thought the Yanmars looked vaguely familiar...
The tractors called all their friends and pretty soon, the yard was full.
From near to far: John Deere L100, Satoh ST1440, Kubota B6000, Yanmars YM1401D and 186D, Mitsubishi D1800, Yanmars YM2000 and YM240 (Same machine, but Japanese and American market versions, respectively.), and International Harvesters 284 and 464.
Looking from the other end:
Front view:
"Business end" of things:
My new assistant supervisor was dubious about the whole little show.
I need to either start liquidating some of the machines, or buy a bigger lot. On the plus side, my "Quick hitch" or "I-match" consists of whatever implement I need, on a machine matched to it, ready to go....
Off-topic question after previewing my pictures: Has anyone tried to bale lawn clippings? I'm far too lazy to rake leaves, and refuse to spend any money on bags for the L100. I do have an old Ferguson hay rake and IH47 baler. Can I bale this stuff and put it into the green waste bin?
