My First Tractor will be a Ventrac 4500Y.

[John Joseph McVeigh]

I did name my Kioti Mr.Bones but have named the others --yet.

I love it.

You might get a card for either A. 300 off your next attachment or B. a miniature replica of your Ventrac in metal.not both.

I do have a Pola scale model of a Lanz Bulldog,

,

but I would also love to have a metal scale model of a 4500.

Of course, I would not mind a coupon for $300 off on my next attachment, either.

Well John its either one or the other. I took the model as my wife wanted it and still bought another 2 more attachments.

If you name her "Snow Queen" you may feel awkward during the summer. Perhaps a little research on ancient Greco Roman goddesses that were associated with the outdoors?

You have a point there. ;-)

Of course, in July and August, the name could be laced with irony. ;-)

In Roman mythology, Diana the Huntress was certainly an outdoorswoman. But Angerona 's festival was celebrated on the 21st of December, associating her with the Winter Solstice.

The Norse analog to Diana was Skadi or Skathi. She was associated with bow-hunting, skiing, Winter, and mountains. She was also the goddess of justice, vengeance, and righteous anger.

In this circumstance, Skadi/Skathi may fit well, as I am a lawyer by profession. (I am also an Electrical Engineer, so please cut me some slack if you have an aversion to lawyers.)

There are a lot of bow hunters around here.

In Greek Mythology, Khione is the nymph of snow. She is the daughter of Boreas (the North Wind), and Oreithyia, a mountain Nymph . Boreas and Oreithyia lived in a cave on Mount Haimos (Mount Haemus) in Thrake (Thrace).

The Norse god Ullr was often depicted wearing skates or skis. Many skiers pay homage to Ullr, at least metaphorically.

Maybe I should call the tractor Jack (short for Jack Frost), or in homage to one of my favorite bands, Spirit, Uncle Jack.

(I did have an Uncle Jack. Unfortunately, I never met him. He was a navigator on a B25, shot down in Burma during World Wr II after he had flown his 25 missions. On that fateful day, he filled in for someone else who could not fly. He was the Officer of the Day., so he filled the void. He never came back. I was recently contacted by the Army and asked to submit a DNA sample, as it appears that remains may have finally been found.)

Other possibilities...

Cailleach Bheur: the Celtic goddess of Winter. As you can probably guess from my surname, my forebears were Celts. As the saying goes, I am as Irish as Paddy's Pig, on both sides, as far back as is traceable.

To anglicize, it, Kayleigh. I like the ring of that. My best friend from college not all that long ago sent me some music recorded by a band called Marillon. One of the tunes was called Kayleigh.

Yuki-onna.. the Japanese Snow Woman. A woman dressed in white, who appears on snowy nights. Now, if she were wearing greige and red, that would be perfect. Still, I love Japanese food, architecture, and art. And the Japanese make some very good tractors, as well as very good internal-combustion engines. The 4500Y, as you know, has a Kubota engine.

Since you are a lawyer, maybe name it the Snow Shark? jk

Perhaps "Dr. Sardonicus", 12 dreams, one for every month?

I too had an uncle, Uncle Jimmy. He was lost when his B25 hit a mountain in Italy in 1943.

Yuki-onna is way too close to Yoko Ono for my liking. Unless your Ventrac is making loud screeching noises?

My wife has the same background. Are you a Patent Attorney? I think I might name mine Igor.

U.S. PTO Registration Number 30,197, but my practice lies elsewhere... Communications Law; matters before the Federal Communications Commission.

I think I might name mine Igor.

How about Marty, for the late Marty Feldman, who played Igor in Mel Brooks's film, Young Frankenstein?

Or Bela, for Bela Lugosi, who played Ygor in Son of Frankenstein?

12 Dreams: one of my favorite albums.

My condolences. So many lives cut short in that war. One of the great tragedies of human history.

I showed my Wife the post with your # and she said" My god he's been at this for a while". Her # is in the 5s. She works for kegler brown. I kinda like Igor maybe I'll use it.
