I just wanted to share with you all the wonderful time I had with my family this weekend. I bought a 10" brinly plow last fall and couldn't wait to try it out in the garden this year. I invited my grandfather (83 years old) who grew up on a farm (using first horses and then a farmall F-12), and my father. Took us a while to get the plow dialed in properly, but by the end it was plowing 6 inches deep, turning the soil over nice, and pulling straight. We got to spend some quality time together preparing the soil for this years garden. Brought back some great memories of farm life for my grandfather (even though my garden is only 15 x 30 feet), and was a first for my father and son (will turn 4 years old next week). We then mounted my model 1 tiller and finished it all off. Did a much better job of tilling and leveling the soil with my newly fabricated back plate. Best part was that my ugly weld job held up and the back plate didn't fall off :roflmao: Hope you enjoy these pictures, I know that I'll cherish them forever...to me, family is the most important thing in the world. Sorry this post got so long winded.

Thank you all for your kind comments. My father and grandfather both worked for an IH dealership (my dad still works for a CC dealer) before it went out of business, so they've been fans of the big red, and little yellow tractors since WAY before I came along. My dad has my grandfather's '62 CC original in his garage yet with two timed decks and a snow plow. And my son, well, he's loved my tractors since before he was able to walk. We would set him up on the seat and he would pretend to drive. He was about 2 years old when he pointed out the PTO, choke and throttle to my uncle and called them by name. He loves going for tractor rides with me. And forget about antique tractor pulls...he sat at one for 5 1/2 hours last summer! Take care, Jason |
