People name their boats. Why not name your tractor?

[Alien]

Before delivery, the dealers asked me what name would I like for it, and from his smartphone reeled off a list of names as long as your arm. I said no thanks - I'm happy just to call it tractor.

Anyway, it was delivered:

I'm quite fond of "Selena" now.

Just saw this post mate. It's been a while. I am near Gatton.
I called mine 'The Panther' Bit of a story behind that.

Here's Mutt and L.J., can you figure out who is who? Both are members of the "family" so they had to have names. Sometimes you have to wait until you sus out their personality before you can name them.

If I had a modicum of art talent I would 100% paint the name on the tractor.

Nah - just go to a signs shop, and get them to make one up with self-adhesive vinyl.

Good idea but then it would conflict with my miserly nature.

Four Fords
9N #9 (number 9, number 9 if you get the reference)
2810 Little Blue
5600 Big Blue
9600 Super Blue (named it before I even got to the auction)
One Jacobsen Jake or little Orange
Always name stuff!

No name painted on the Stern, like a boat but my garden tractor is named Tug and my backhoe with 4:1 bucket is named Jaws. Garden tractor reminded me of a little tug boat and my grandkids named the backhoe after I drove toward them opening and closing the bucket.

When I bought my JD X740 a few years back, it was used, having been a commercial lawn mower for a while, and traded in on a new one. On the back of the seat was applied one of those large hardware store white stick on numbers "2". As I looked across the back seat, and large green hood, it came to me: Thunderbird 2, from the 1960's kids TV show. It stuck, until a few weeks ago, when Thunderbird 2, and some other very appreciated machines were lost in a fire. Thunderbird 2 has been replaced with a new 1025R, I don't know if the name will carry over, family discussion...

The show with the marionettes. I loved that show as a kid. Fireball xl5

Kubota L4150- named it #45, it's old, orange, and obnoxiously loud.
Named my motorhome Uncle Eddie.

I probably would have gone with Kolt 45.

I used stick on vinyl letters, pretty cheap.

I name mine generally from the name of the previous owner, if it works. My 3930 is "Ronnie" after the gentleman farmer friend I purchased him from; the model 1920 is "Frankie" after the man I bought him from. My 1944 9N was my father-in-law George's - he acquired the name "George" long before I owned him because his key-fob said "George" so that the half-dozen or so neighbors who used him frequently would know the right key.
My L2850 SHOULD have been "Kurt the Kubota" after the guy I bought him from, but that man turned out to be such an a@&%#*& by the time we closed the deal that THAT was ruled out, so he's "Knipper" after a particularly difficult biting Walking horse stud that was an ugly, gnarly beast from too many times ramming his head through barbed wire (some previous owner obviously rolled the tractor with a heavy high bucket; many ugly weld repairs to FEL arms and front end).
I name everything: Grizz, the rAT, Linda (the Blue Bayou), Mickey, Ned. The wife named her Gator Cubby. All part of 'the family'.

My tractor told me that I don't even have to call it by it's name....so I just call it "Darlin", Darlin...!

 

[miniceptor86]

LOL, at times I call mine "#@**_%#", when it won't start!

I learned a few combinations when grandpa‘s manual start JD B wouldn’t pop!

My Kubota L2550 GST is named Clementine as in the small orange.

 

[JRH02]

The Kubota 7100 is 'Toy' or 'Toy Tractor' and the JD 710j is 'Bertha'. Absolutely no disrespect to the Kubota. It gets used more often. But when it can't do the job....

I only have a row boat. It's name - row boat. Likewise my tractors name - tractor.
