Pete D 178 #101 Posted 22 hours ago Ok, another question. I think you guys are rubbing off on me $25. 1973. This would allow me to prep & paint for my 1-0440. Worth $25? Shhhhhh, don't tell my wife! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worth $25? Shhhhhh, don't tell my wife! DEFINITELY worth the $25 to have a chassis all painted up for a faster changeover. @Pete D Attach o matic is the standard Wheelhorse implement connection from 1973 up. There's 3 hitches. Front mule drive is connected to one. Then mid. And rear where a plow or tiller goes. There's are of course many other implements that use those same points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once said to my wife: for every tractor I buy, you can get another critter to make it fair. 8 pygmy goats, 5 dogs, 4 cats, a donkey, and a giant tree frog later- she is WAY ahead of me! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donna would say the animals are for me, too. We have one aging beagle, and she wants nothing else, to make travelling easier. 🥺 Btw, I expect the formula for the correct # of tractors to own is the same as for motorcycles: N+1, where N is the number you currently own! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 69,817 #108 Posted 1 hour ago The minimum number of tractors is ALWAYS a minimum of whatever number of IMPLEMENTS you have, +1. @SylvanLakeWH said so and he knows stuff. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, there are corollaries that must be considered as well... Floor space showing in the shop? Buy... Rafter space in the shop? Buy... Wife out of town and won't notice another red thing in the shop? Buy... Bored? Buy... et cetra... Edited 21 minutes ago by SylvanLakeWH 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
