Tractor Model with the Longest Production Run?

And none of them had hydrostatic transmissions. How in the world did they ever farm with them!

Just proves hydrostatic drives are just a luxury for some, not a necessity as a lot of people think today.

Back then a lot of farmers bought them to replace their horse or mule, so it was quite a step up. I always get a kick out of driving past the Amish farms up north of me; 80 years ago farmers were buying tractors and adapting their horse drawn equipment; now I see 3 pth 4 bottom plows and other implements adapted to pull behind the horses.

How many horses does it take to pull a four-bottom plow?

I don't know, I was wondering that as I posted. I have never seen it working, only laying on it's side at the farm.

You beat me to the punch! Nice soil, it's no wonder so many New England farmers moved west in the 1800's.


I would like to retract my previous answer and say "Twelve."

Maine is the most forested state in the country

NO just dirt and ROCKS

This soil in Aroostook County looks good to me.
