Art imitates life? Learn from the movies???

I can recall a movie in which a tractor and trailer managed to drive over a row of parked Harley's. It may of had something to do with dogs and leaving their companions alone but sure looked neat. Probably saved a bunch of fellows a whole lot of time trying to get them Harley's started!!

Didn't Elvis fix a tractor or two to help out on the farm.

I think that scene was in Smokey and the Bandit. Not sure, though. Sure felt good to watch those biker thugs get their due. I remember they were jerks (to use language appropriate for family audiences).

I never got to the movies much but used to watch TeeVee. Didn't the Waltons have a tractor? Seems like it was a Massey. Never got mentioned unless it needed to be worked on. Might be where I got my poor opinion of Masseys.

Or was it the Dukes of Hazzard? .....or Lassie? Naww that was an 8N.

Flashing forward in time, and kinda along the same lines... I have noticed that when some of the latest country music stars or WWF "wrassler" types, (how can a country music star NOT have a horse farm), when interviewed for TV you can expect a tractor to be somewhere in the interview. Usually a shot or two of them driving it around...in between shots of corralling and riding horses. Funny you never see any crops or tilled land...

Ian Tyson does own a ranch and can ride a horse!

Not a movie, but "Green Acres" featured several models of Ford tractors over the course of the show.

Who can forget "chicken" on tractors in footloose. Those darn shoelaces

How about Pauly Shore in 'Son In Law' when he takes his father-in-law's combine out for a spin?
