People name their boats. Why not name your tractor?

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.
