what was your first tractor?

[pitt_md]

I grew up on a small farm and at the age of 8 or 9 started on an Allis WD45. Moved up to the "big" tractor IH Super M after a year or two. I have only bought one tractor (not counting garden tractors) and that is the Kubota
MX5000.

I started on an Allis Chalmers C when I was around 12 years old. I operated various farm tractors through my high school years, and spent a lot of hours on a JD 1010 while working in a game preserve after the Army. The first tractor I bought was a Kubota BX22, and I now have a Kubota B2620........ I guess I'm back to nearly the same size I started with.

The first one I ran was a JD M my grandad bought new to replace the team of horses back in 1950. My dad still uses that one on occassion. The first one I bought myself was a 1951 Ford 8n which I still have and use when 4wd is not a big advantage. The first one I bought new was a 2006 JD 4120 which introduced me to 4wd.

My granddad never had a tractor. He used a team into the mid 50s and I spent some time behind them but I was too small to really drive them. I think the first tractor I actually drove was either an IH TD6 with disc or a small JD dozer my uncle had when I was 8 or 9. I´ve run about all ag equip through high school and college along with d7s in the army but never was interested in farming as a life so never owned any equipment. I´ve ended up with a few acres, so I broke down and got a bx a couple years ago to keep the place up. Is does bring back some old memories running the thing.

Our first tractor was a Kubota L245DT around the turn of the century. It came with a landscape rake and we got a 5' bush hog to mow our fields. Without an owner's manual, had to figure out what the different levers and controls did by trial and error. It had a three speed pto, and I always mowed in 2nd untill I got a manual a couple years later and found out that 1st was the 540RPM gear. We wanted a loader, so we upgraded to an L3830 in '04. Wow, what a difference HST, power steering and live pto make!

First tractor for me was my Dads 8n ford that I helped my uncle rebuild the engine on. Then when Dad died and I was 16 it was stolen while we were in morning. Then my oldest brother bought a MF 35 dieesel and that was a nice little tractor. Then after I got married I bought a IH 424 gas it was a good machine and served me well till IU traded it in on a Kubota L4400 HST. I didnt count my Gravely or Cub Cadet I geuss they are tractors though.
