My personal favorite will ALWAYS be my Massey Ferguson 150. No changing that. But it's been seeing too much action of late. I don't want to pile up the hours on what I HOPE will become a family heirloom. So it's about to be shuffled off to a safer home....My son has a big barn we've...

...I don't even know what the build date is. So we'll go with original purchase date. May 17th, 1971. Bought at Kinney's Farm Service, Washington Kentucky. (Found the cancelled check and bill of sale while ago) I guess we'll have to go with 40th anniversary. I'm rambling on about my '71...

It HAD to happen sooner or later.... My '71 MF 150 suffered a mechanical failure yesterday. :eek: Almost 4 years ago, I decided to "clean it up". That led to an eventual paint job, a few thousand hours of searching Ebay/Craigslist/internet sites to find OEM "original" parts to make it look...

.....contractor? You have a tractor and a mower, think that a few extra bucks would come in handy, and have someone with a nice big lot that needs mowing! Sounds like fun! What could possibly go wrong anyway? Well, let me tell ya. I get a call 5 weeks ago. Friend of a friend referred me to...

Anyone who's spent much time bush hogging has no doubt hit SOMETHING in the weeds. Goes with the territory.... I've been finding out lately the same applies to tillers. Till for other people and the odds multiply. Add in for the "being a nice guy" factor and it get downright ugly...

Check this out! SR-71

Someone who owes me a few bucks wants to satisfy some of the debt with a new Poulan Pro 3416 chain saws. I've got 2 Stihl MS260's that outperform any saw I've ever hd my hands on. However, I'd like to have a second saw with each for those times when I get a bar pinched. He has the original...

French???? AGCO is headquartered in Duluth Ga. With a large part of their production based in Italy. Which French company?

I'm shopping for a couple tractors for the mowing business. Just went to the Deere home page, 2009 line-up edition. Impressive updates to the website to say the very least.

Once upon a time, Caterpillar's large tracked AG tractors were built by CAT. They were Challenger (brand) . Perkins Diesel was owned by Massey Ferguson (Division of AGCO) Caterpillar had a very successful line of BIG diesels, but hadn't done all that well in the small diesel market. They...

ALMOST time to plant turnips. We're 2" behind on rain for the month, hot, low humidity and slight breeze. All the makin's for dry, dusty ground. So. I just hooked up the tiller and worked up all the vacant ground in the garden. Cloud of dust should clear in a day or 2.

From my youngest days, I recall being addicted to tractorin'. It never took much of an excuse to get me on one. I really enjoy the time I spend in the seat to this day, even after literally THOUSANDS of hours. But then you have days like my yesterday :eek: 8-1/2 hours (fortunately in a...

I had to go visit a job site this morning. As I was leaving, it started pouring rain. I HATE driving in city traffic while it's raining and coincidentally, I was passing my FAVORITE TSC store (Sarcasm light flashing brightly) So, I ducked in for a quick look around. As I was getting out of...

Someone has to listen to my rant, so why not you guys? As many of you know, I own a mowing business. We bush hog large acreage for a number of regular clients, along with a few "one timers". MOST of my customers are happy with the job we do and the price we charge. But on occasion. I...
