Please sdd me to the farmer list.

Are you sure about that??

Are you tough enough for this crowd?

Can you wipe with a cornkob?

We deal harshly with sissys . . .

I have what I call the rights, farms, environment ping list. I would be happy to put you on it. Also, I am the local Grange nut so I occasionally post Grange articles.

neighbor had orange groves and a big cattle ranch in central FL. I started on Case orchard tractors and at the ranch a JD 4020. big tractor for a little kid.

[CARDINALRULES]

Ping.

Corncob?

We were upper class and used a Monkey Wards catalog. Still I suppose I could resort to cobs if needed.

[Bluntpoint]

Wow, you got to use corncobs every day? We only got ours out when company was coming.

I spent the first 14 1/2 years of my life on a farm and first drove a tractor at age nine, it was a Ford, then we got a DC6 Cat when I was twelve and that was a blast to operate. When I was fourteen we had a big IH Farmall three wheeler and I spent much seat time on it. *sigh*

I also drove tractors for other farmers during those years, I was a busy boy. :)

[blackie]

Oops, I meant D-6 Cat ... *sigh*

I don't understand your meaning. Do you
mean the green paint causes cancer? Or
do you mean the engine emissions cause
cancer? A lot of stuff may cause cancer
if ingested in large enough doses. The
point here is: this tractor was able to
function well on a very low grade of fuel.

John Deere Green has killed more people than any other malady.

Further, people who are exposed to John Deere Green have their sarcasm circuitry completely fried.
