Tractor Names

[ptfarmermd]

My 1949 Ferguson TO-20 is "Fergie" or "OGF - Old Gray Ferguson".
My 2004 New Holland TC35A is "Blue Thunder", like the movie and TV series with the helicopter.

Na, I wouldn't be that silly.. JohnJ

Well I'm glad to hear I'm not alone out here. Now I won't go looking for the PTO, as I'm sure it's there. The JD won't get named until he's been run a bit and I get a feel for what his name should be. Some are easy - some are hard. My Honda ST1300 just had to be STacey, but I had to give my Nissan Frontier a couple of weeks to find out he was Bradley.

Bob the bobcat (hmmmm real original eh)
Babe (blue ox from Paul Bunyon) NH 1925
Bertha my buddies 185 CFM air compressor.

 

[PineRidge]

We call our gal Blue Thunder.

My new Kubota L-39 is "Neo" because we (my wife in particular) hope that he's "The One" and are "anxious to see what he is capable of".

If you haven't seen the "Matrix" you wouldn't understand.

 

[SkyPup]

Our L-3130 is the "Terminator"

Our L-39 is the "StumpKnocker"

And our ZD-21 is the "LifeSaver"

P.I.T.A but then what do you expect until I was 12 I thought my name was S.o.b and my bother was JC. My dad would yell at me and say JC and Id say no dad im s.o.b. I forget wich comedian used that line but I have always thought it was funny

It was Bill Cosby if I remember right.

Some of my vehicles have earned names and some have not. All of the names I have for vehicles start with "The"...

Dad's old 3/4 ton Dodge club cab was "The Tank of Death"
My Kawasaki 750 LTD was "The Fire Breathing Dragon"
Our Chevy Astro Minivan was "The Gutless Wonder"
I had a little Chevy Cavalier that was usually "The Stupid Piece of Junk", but went by "The Little White Wonder" when my girlfriend (now my wife) was in the car.

Right now my tractors all go by "The blue one", "The red one", or "The John Deere". I'm still waiting for them to earn real names.

 

[DmansPadge]

The Kubota was "Rodney." The riding mower is "Rodney II."

 

[JimParker]

My wife names everything. At first, I thought she was crazy, but I finally got used to it. Glad to see we're not the only "crazy" people around!

Our former Dodge pickup - somewhat cantakerous - was "Butthead" (the Ram)
The JD LX178 is "Little Joe" (named after "Mean Joe Greene", only smaller)
The Chevy Truck is "Enli" (Cherokee for "I saw a dog" - don't ask!)
The Audi is named "Innie" (Innie the Audi - who could resist?)
The new JD 3320 will be "Hoss" (after all, he is Little Joe's "brother"... and it fits!)

 

[daTeacha]

The tractor (DX29 Case)

The old Cadet, sometimes the big Cadet (109/129 IH)

The new Cadet, sometimes the little Cadet (1250 Cub Cadet)

The mower (JX75 John Deere)

No proper names as such, just descriptive.

 

[fishpick]

Dad's Old Ford tractor was "Babe" - I saw someone else had that from the same origin
His new JD is the "MGM" - Mean Green Machine
I saw someone post about their Kubota somewhere else - "Obi One Kabota"... thought that was clever.
I haven't named mine yet... it's small and angry... Wife calls it the "lil' monster"...
I just look at her (have determined the ***, even though there is in fact a mid-PTO, to be female) and smile.

My John deere's name is THE NEGOTIATOR II

[roxynoodle]

I haven't figured out what my new Farmall's name is yet. I've been calling him Big Red but I'm guessing that name has been hung on half the Farmall's over time. And probably some Masseys, etc.

There was this same thread a couple of years back.
At that time I decided to name my B-2910
Tug Bota Annie
But I seldom call (it ) by name.

How many of you "youngsters" know where that name came from?

Gotrocks, I see you were watching tv in the 50's.

I remember in that old thread someone named their tractor "Obi Wan" (Kubota), I thought that was pretty clever.
