First day out with our new tractor.

Good to see a 33 year old Kubota still earning it's keep!!!!Not quite as old as the Chevy though. It's not a 67 by the rear window. Not newer than a '72 though, so I'll guess '70??

Rocks seem to be all the size of spuds. That is a lot better than the larger ones, or is that just how that one hole was?

Thanks! It is a 1981 M4500DT. It has already been a huge asset. We also learned a few tricks using a PHD in a rocky area (Only took 6 holes).

I see those old M4500s still going for a good price even with a lot of hours.

The chevy truck is a 71, but great guess!

We are totally happy with the M4500DT, but this is also our first tractor. I'm already thinking of what I can do to restore pieces of if this winter.

A 6 cylinder Kubota must be really smooth. You will appreciate it.

Lookin good!!!!

The pen looks good too,,,, but I'm referring to the other old truck, 67-72 Ford ton truck. I'm gonna stick with my first guess of 1970 model?? :)

You are soooooo lucky to live where old trucks like these survive. Here in Missouri they are all rusted away. Especially the two you have.
