Tractor
John Deere 3520
Has anybody here named their tractor? I don't know how I got started with this but I've about always named my vehicles. Usually with regular human names e.g. Christine, Bradley, etc. Cars and motorcycles have almost always had female names, while trucks have had male names. So I'm soon to take delivery of my JD3520, which I figure has to be male, and I'm trying to find out if folks do this or is it considered bad luck or something.

My tractor is Charlie. The truck is Red Rocket and the Mustang is Jake. The way I see it, if it has any gear shifts it is male.;)

I am currently living in the farm house my dad grew up in. Grandpa was in the sawmill business and they had two mules. One was Kate, you couldn't ride her. But the other one Tobe, you could ride. So I named my Yanmar, Lil' Tobe. And my Troybilt tiller Kate.:p

My brother has a tradition of naming all of his pickups after the person he bought them from. I adopted that tradition for my tractors. I had a Case named Travis and an IH 350 Utility named Peanut. My only current tractor is a JD lawn rider named Mike.

I have to ask... you bought a tractor from someone named Peanut?

You've got a car named Christine?:eek:

You can tell if a tractor is male or not by flipping it over and seeing if it has a PTO between it's tires. :D

My kids call my tractor Jed - from Jed Clampett - it fits the tractor quite well,IMHO.

I guess my tractors name is Sweetie. Like when I really put her to work and she starts to hesitate, I just say "come on sweetie" :)
