My first tractor was a 1953 Ferguson TO30. I was 13 and it was just 7 years old. I went to work with it, plowing gardens and bush hogging. It paid for my first car.

My first NEW tractor is still here. In 1971 I bought this Massey Ferguson 150 diesel.

The first tractor I operated was my dad's '51 Farmall Cub, which he bought almost new. My first tractor is a 1954 NAA Ford. I think I paid more for it 9 years ago than it cost new.

That's an awesome tractor FWJ.

Does a JD 210 garden tractor count?

Depends on what you call "my" tractor. My first tractoring experience was on a 1940 John Deere L that my Dad bought in 1951 or '52, so I was 11 or 12 years old. The picture is not the one we had, but a picture found on the Internet that looks just like the one we had.

The first one I actually owned was a 1995 Kubota B7100, but I don't have a picture of it. Then I owned the 1999 Kubota B2710.

An uncle, who was a real full time farmer, had two Case tractors and I spent a little time on them one summer in the early '50s. Then when I was a teenager working in Dad's service station, I did some tire repairs, and also got to occasionally drive an Oliver in the late '50s that belonged to the Mobil distributor. When my wife and I worked at an RV resort in Virginia, I used an old Ford tractor a good bit. Then in the mid to late '90s, I worked for a rancher neighbor cutting, baling, and moving hay and used a 50 hp White and an 85 hp Oliver.

1978 Kubota 245DT 4x4 manual trans, FEL, backhoe, R-1's and no power steering.

Probably the toughest small tractor I've ever seen. Astonishingly quality.

1949 Ford 8N. Then my fathers John Deere MT.

I think what started it all for me was when I was 5-8 my dad used to bring our family up to eagle lake in northern maine every year, he's from Fort Kent and visited every summer for a couple of weeks. The campground used to give rides on the little cart they used to deliver fire wood to the campsites. My brother and I would ride on top of the wood every night. The tractor was a little garden tractor, probably a ford or craftsman. But man was that fun, I can still, over 35 years later, remember the route the tractor would take through the campground.

My first tractor was a 1953 case 310C crawler loader. Then a Kubota B6000E (terrific tractor, had two of them, one with TLB), then a JD 350B dozer with six way, then my Kioti LK3054XS. And they all lived at my house on 3.5 acres. My neighbors think I'm a little odd, but, hey, it sure beats drinking or getting into some other sort of trouble. Although these things have their own trouble.

I like these sort of posts.
