Another "Other" Collection

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496]

Troy posted pictures of his "other" brand collection.  Myself, am also a Deere guy so I have a few to post.  Here is my Deeres, current and past.  Here are the round fenders I've owned.

My other John Deere's I've owned and/or now own.

I also had a few Cub Cadets.

Wow!

I think I might have missed a couple.  I don't have any pictures of a Ford I owned a few years ago.  And I missed a couple of JDs and at least one, Cub Cadet.  And a Simplicity was here for a brief moment also.

I think the Simplicity was on a trailer behind a JD.

Looks good Terry! Out of all of the ones you have posted, do you have a favorite? How many do you currently have in your collection right now? Looks like you might be having the same trouble as me when it comes to storing them all, it's a little thin!

Yes, you're right.  It was a Broadmoor, if I remember correctly.  Gave it to a friend of mine.

Troy, they come and go it seems.  To me, it's not about how many I have, but the hunt for them.  Right now I have narrowed down my JD collection to include a '66 110, 2004 GX345, a 2006 X320, a 2002 717 zero turn, and 3 Wheel Horses.  I do have a 210 in my garage what I need to work on for my brother.  I gave a '67 112 to my nephew a few months ago and I sort of gave the LT150 to my brother a couple of weeks ago.

 

Storage is a problem, especially since my son-in-law puts his Harley in my small garage.  If it wasn't for that, I have another tractor in there.  I might build a lean to off one side of the garage to house any overflow.

 

If I have a favorite, it's probably the next one I find and can talk the wife into buying and bringing home.  To me it's all about finding them and bringing them home.

I think I missed pictures of the LT133 I had a few years ago.  And the two R72s that passed through my place.

 

A better picture of the Simplicity Broadmoor.

 

My 2004 GX345 close up.

 

JDs out getting a sun tan.  Noticed the lone STX38 by the side of the garage.

 

I couldn't find a picture of the 66 rer I had.

 

Deeres and Horses can get along.

Here's how I store mine. Not easy at all, and one reason that keeps me from taking tractors to shows all Spring and Summer. These pictures were of my set up at our old house in a 22' x 12' shed that I built, however I have our current two and half car garage set up pretty much the same way.

 Looks similar in nature.

Troy,

I remember seeing some of those "storage" pictures before, probably on WFM.  I see the winch you have to get them up the ramps into the upper bay.  Those little winches do come in handy.  I had one on a 12 tilt trailer once and it saved my back a few times.  I need to put one on my current trailer.

 

What keeps me going to the shows now, is basically a lack of them in this area.  That and it seems like they're in the hottest time of year.  There is the Owensville Threshers Reunion show in Rosebud, Missouri, but it's in July.  I went a few years, and with heat indexes over 100 to 120, it's a bit on the warm side, especially for me.

Holy cow, I thought I learned how to pack a load high and tight when I learned how to load UPS 18 wheelers years ago! You just might be able to teach them a thing or two about getting the full value out of every last inch of storage space there bubba!
