The Urban Tractor. Who's got one?

Well, I'll have to be honest with you. I do like me a good latte but the only reason I stopped by that day was to see the looks I could get from the preppy kids inside pecking away at their laptops after I parked my tractor amongst their snobbish cars.

Then it must be time to go back, some photos are well worth the effort.

This would be the most worthy of avatars, a Holy Grail of sorts without having to know the unladen airspeed of an English Sparrow...

I had an old JD 3020 row crop tractor with a 48 loader in my back yard when I lived in town. Twice a month or more I drove it the 3 miles to and from our current place for over a year until we moved here.

It was amazing how many neighbors wanted me to bring my tractor over to help with their project.

Well, if you stick around Depot Town, you may end up being in a rural area before you know it!

Just teasing. I used to work in a certain infamous building in Depot Town...and yep..I know exactly where you are!

I hope you were wearing your coveralls when you strode through the door - that always gets me a slack-jawed look from the teens in town.

In the places I have lived and live not even very dirty coveralls would get a first glance.

Pulled into a repair shop down in Oshawa a few years back and spotted a tractor like mine in the yard so I went for a closer look...They had put FENDERS with mudflaps on the front tires....!!!

That'll be me in a few weeks. Not in town exactly, but my BX and I will be on a 1 acre lot in a little 12 house rural cul-de-sac. I was scoping out the other house's back yards to see how many gardens I may be coerced into tilling. Didn't see ANY.

I live right in the city of Buffalo. My tractor sees a lot of pavement but we also garden almost two acres of vacant land so it sees it's fair share of dirt as well.

I live in Seattle and my neighbors think I am a whackadoo when I drive my 1942 AC-b around the hood. Then again I'm kind of a whackadoo....
