Fabulous color scheme on The Bear.

How do you obtain parts?

Do Norway or Sweden make any tractors?

Which of your current three tractors do you like best? Second best? Third?

It's a populare tractor in Poland so I can buy a new one in parts, production ended can 1994 and mine is a 1975.
It has only 780h on the clock.

I love my 135 but this and the 135 are very different. My 995 is a backhoe? and I haven't used much sin's I bought it last year, it needs some TLC.

Today the only tractor production is Valtra, Volvo gave up in the eighties.
In Denmark the had Bukh but that died years ago.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Is the winch powered by the PTO?

That is one Honky-Tonk David Brown.

If you ever enter it in a tractor beauty contest against 'The Communist' the judges will have a hard time selecting the most beautiful.

Obviously, aesthetics are as important to you as function.

You probably only drink "craft" beer, only packaged in bottles.

The DB isn't pretty, but I did pay 150$ for it in working condition.

Wow, the scrappers here would pay more than that. It would be on it's way to China.

The owner just wanted it to go away so he was happy that someone wanted it.
Backhoes are not popular here, I think the excavators wiped out all most all commercial use of backhoes in the mid eighties.
