X2. Looks great. Do you plan on bringing it to shows or getting it dirty workin.

Mostly getting her dirty. I watched a tractor parade this Summer and never saw one of these. I think it would be a lot of fun to participate in one of those. Lots of great looking tractors there.

I spent many an hour riding the seat of my dad's Super M-TA. For a long time it was our only tractor with a four row cultivator. I graduated to it from the John Deere B and it's two row cultivator. After a while though you began to wish it had power steering and real brakes. With a front mounted IH 461 cultivator it was a pain to turn at the end rows. The drum brakes just didn't have the strength to lock the wheel like the B would. The M-TA was a good tractor and did it all. Your pictures bring back a lot of good bittersweet memories. Dad's was a narrow front end with swinging drawbar. I spent a lot of time in June and July as a teenager in Eastern Iowa on the M-TA cultivating corn and soybeans

You sure learn how to cultivate real quik. People frown upon you cultivateing the crops and not the weeds between the rows.
