People name their boats. Why not name your tractor?

[DanMc77]

While I was hiking up our steep driveway in NH, the thought came to my head: "Name the tractor Molly".

I know this is on the silly side, but a little bit of levity is a healthy thing at times. It is customary to name a boat. Why not name your tractor?

Here are my tractor's names:
JD4600: Molly
JD2210: Millie
JD332: (Poor thing doesn't have a name)
WM-8H chipper: Chip (what else?)

Because the ass end is:

1. Usually covered by whatever is hooked to the three point.

2. is not big enough to paint a name onto.

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

I call my backhoe Jasmine. It sounded like a good name for a hoe.

I call mine "amazing":

The Long Arm tree puller:

The 7' brush hog:

And it fits in the garage:

I named mine too: I called it The Tractor. Pretty cool huh?

Boats are named for a purpose...mainly so they can be hailed on a radio etc. or identified...
...Vessels over 5 tons are named as documented yachts and are not required to display any registration numbers...just the name home port...!

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.

 

[Thomas]

Name after my wife.

 

[Torvy]

Gramps always called his Alice. Not especially original since it was the original orange tractor (I think). Alice Chalmers.

You have inspired me though. I hereby pledge to give my future tractor a name.

Well thanks for this. Now I am going to have to paint the whole thing yellow and blue and name it Despicable Me.

I've named my Ford 1720 "OLE' HAROLD". Our neighbor was moving and sold us a piece of property. He said I'll sell you the piece of property but you'll have to buy the tractor and you can't buy the tracctor unless you buy the property. Turned out the price of the tractor and property was cheaper than the tractor alone would have cost me. Great friend so the tractor is named in Harold's honor.

Our LS is named Lois. The little road that curves around the back of the shop is named Lois Lane...

One reason it does so well with the grapple is the front axle is bolted to the frame and the rear axle pivots:

Mine is Hercemere, in honor of Granpa’s tractors. They were named Hercemere and Harry. Which according to my Mom were his last two draft horses names.
