We had a good local Ford dealer here and there were quite a few farms that had Fords. Neighbor farm had an 8830, TW-35, and a TW-20. Thanks for the pics.
We've had deere, some Oliver's, and always the blue ones.
Right now I run a
5200 ( 5000 rowcrop) this has been here most of its life
8000
8700
9700
8870
T4 75
2 Workmaster 70's
Over the years, we've had a 2nd 5200, a 8600 dad bought new year I was born. I wish I'd never sold that one. Another 9700 that burned up in a fire. A 7740 and a ts 100, and we used to run a 8730 and a 8830. I've spent a pile of time on the 8730, and I've baled ALOT of hat with the 8830 pulling a big square baler.
Ironically though my favorite tractor over the years is probably a 1955 oliver I grew up on, but it's a toss up, the 9700 that burned up I really liked as well.
We've had good luck with the blue tractors
