What was the First Tractor you ever drove?

[wcampbell47]

Reading through the posts reminded me of skidding logs out of the woods for an uncle in East Texas. He had a Ford gas maybe a 4000. On more than one occasion the front end never touched the ground all the way out to the loading area. Steered using the brakes on the rear wheels. The sound of the engine let you know that 4 banger was giving all it had. Believe me my foot was touching the clutch pedal ready to disengage in a nano second. That was before I knew what a nanosecond was.

I was about eight when I helped my dad pull out a hedge with a 1948 Fordson Major, after a little instruction I drove the tractor

Like wcambell47, my first tractor to drive was a Massy Harris 30 with a loader and narrow front. It was the tractor my dad used to build the farm. It hauled logs, loaded logs on to the Bellsaw 48 mill and ran the mill using a belt. Quite the workhorse.
