what was your first tractor?

   / what was your first tractor? #41  
First tractor as a driver was 'Gramps Farmall Model A at age 12. Used for field mowing with a 60" Woods belly mower, it was a handful if you got into the trees. "Armstrong Steering" doesn't begin to describe it...

First tractor owned was a '52 8N Ford. Alot of bang for the buck, but limited in it's capability...

My first Tractor was a JD 2010 Diesel..About 45 HP on the PTO and it even had a FEL quite unusual at the time but very useful. (Had a Case Uni Loader before that) So maybe that was my first??

Used the JD to clear a 5 acre lot, put in a 1500 foot drive, Lawn and build a house and then sold it for what I paid 2 years later.

Made out good except for the Clutch replacement cost of $1700.00 I still figure I saved at least 5 Grand. :D

1950 Ford 8N with loader and 8 foot "real" York Rake. I got to drive it in my Dad's lap in 1957 when I was 6 and by myself when I was 8. When I was 9 I was loading my Dad's trucks with loam, york raking customers new lawns, and plowing snow.

"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."

Grey market version of above L1801DT, little less horsepower, constantly amazed at what it could do. Second was Farmtrac dt300, than came the Kubota B2910 then the Kubota B2150.

The first tractor that I drove was a Ford 9N with a trip loader when I was about 12 or 13 years old.
The first tractor that I purchased was a Farmall Cub. I was in rough shape so I had to restore it. Here is a picture of the Cub:
