How many tractors have passed thru your door?

[Pullstart 62,905]

Many (in my standards) have come, not many have left.  I’m hovering around 30 here at the moment, only 4 that I can think of have ever left either whole or as rollers.

isn't this like your prospective wife asking you how many girlfriends you've had

I cannot tell a lie, but I can try to avoid the question.

In - A  few,

In actually running -Zero

Now running 4

OK to you guys I'll fess up, 12WH and 6 other Brands

Out- None, but a couple of Other Brands are up for sale 

[Mike'sHorseBarn 2,998]

In 20 years I've had 14 horses and currently have 5. In that same time frame I currently have 19 tractors of all brands and have sold 30. I have a list that I keep so that someday when I'm old I can look back and see how many have come and gone over the years and what they were.

My paternal grandfather did the same thing with his Road driven vehicles.

Apparently from a very young age he had a penchant for buying vehicles, keeping them for a year or three and selling them,  with very little net losses. 

He liked very much to have a different vehicle more often than most folks do. New or not didn't seem to matter. Brand didn't seem to matter. Type of vehicle didn't seem to matter.

 

He kept a list for a bit and then his kids and grandkids adjusted it at one point not long after he passed. As near as we can figure he had about 65 to 70 years of driving time and right around that in the amount of vehicles as well.

Sounds more like it Mike...here anyway!

This list goes up to 40 some tractors with parts machines. 

NLO = No Longer Own & they are not numbered.

Since 1993, at least 28 that I can remember. Still have 10. 8 running, 2 under construction.

 

[Pullstart 62,905]

@WHX?? I made the list!  

[Wheelhorse#1 1,667]

Good question.I’m fairly  new to the WH sickness.,just about a year in. In that time I have bought 3 and still have all 3.

However I’m already thinking about selling one so I can purchase another….or two 😜

There's no need for such ludicrous mental anguish. 

Build another shed garage barn airplane hangar.

     A few that I have bought for parts were field stripped at the Big Show and the remains went to other Red Square members, do they even count since they were only mine for a few seconds and never did make it to my shop?  ?  ?        What about the incomplete parts tractors that were strictly organ donors to give new life to projects?   ?        Kinda got to lump them in as Derelict Wheel Horses, best I can recall there have been seven or eight. There have been four that lived at my place and found new homes and at present there are six running operable tractors and two projects that in all likelihood will get done get done during my lifetime. I do have one long term project that I may never get around to but am not ready to give up

So if my math is correct and the field-striped units count as an in and out  and Organ Donors in and sort-of out         8 in     8 out

Projects, those that went to new homes and those that are alive and well in my herd                                                 13 in     4 out

                                                                                                                                                                         Totals   21 in   12 out 

 I forgot about the one up in the hay mow that I probably won't get to either.      Makes it 22 in   and   12 out!

 

            Please don't tell my wife!                    She only thinks I have four or five.

I’ve let 8 wheel horses go that I can remember.3 of them I never should have but being a single dad I needed money. I still have 10 myself and Aiden has 2, Alex has 3 and my daughter Alanna has 1.we also have 4 parts donor machines too.

I know I said I have 5 horses currently, I've been trying to make it 6 this week, but dealing with people on marketplace is getting to be almost impossible! Lol

[WHX?? 48,828]

^^I wish that was the case!! Unfortunately (and fortunately) my wife comes into play!!😂. I noticed you said “tractors”I’ve been fixing and selling tractors since high school! I can count 8 or 9 that I have fixed/sold. I currently have 8 Wheelhorses, 1 Power King, and 1 Farmall Cub.
