We still use our D15's to tedd and rake hay, run augers, D14 still rakes hay, The CA has the Herd seedder mounted on it to top dress clover on the wheat.  So yes we still use our Old tractor's.

'39 B for plowing, discing, planting, cultivating and digging potatoes.

2 WD45s and one CA are used all the time on my farm.They are my only tractors,and all I need.If my grandfather could make them do,then so can I. Lol

One WD 45 has a 80 inch blower on it. Gets used every time it snow. in the summer it can rest unless I need another tractor. WD45 with loader used at least once a week. It also has loader duty all summer. CA has Woods L306 on it hasn't been used since fall. Mows 15 acres a week in the summer. C has easy life. just used to move stuff around the yard for mowing . Has a Belly Blade on it for keeping road in shape during summer. I spread the work around I'm to lazy to change implements.

Dad and I have 4  17 IV's.  We use a D17 IV to feed hay every day, D15 II to fix fence and rake hay, 175 to bale hay, D 17 to cut hay, D17 to ted hay, D17 to plant, 6080 for beans and brush hogging, 8050 for tillage. 

My grandpas CA is  the only thing that doesn't work on the farm any more.  but it's Pretty.

 Now you've done it, the girls are all pi$$ed off at being called old. I hope they start tomorrow! 7030, 175D, D17, WD-45, WD. I'm going out now to tell them how beautiful they are. LOL...Harvey

D17 gets used every other day to grind feed with, everything else is used when needed which is frequently and to many to list. lol

Uhh, what do you mean by "old" tractors?  My newest tractor is a 185, 1977 model year and yes, I still use it.  It seems to run like a new one so I don't think I will change that

D-21 to cultivate 400 acres in the spring, D-17iv diesel retired from row cultivating 600 acres of kidney beans each year now just runs the wood splitter, D-15 II 6' brush cutter, D-12 III 6' finishing mower, WD-45 with 80R mower for road ditches and hedges (LOL), H-3 misc dozer work. Not enough work for all the willing hands.

We use our 45 nf with the sickle bar mower alot through the year  and for pulling hay wagons. in the spring i use it to plow some gardens for some folks down the road. the 45 wf we use to rake hay and for the bush hog, and to pull 3 bottom plow. we dont use them as much as the bigger tractors but we use them a good bit (more then playing around)...Jb

We us the15's and the 14 a lot.  During hay season ted and rake. During harvest they run the three short augers.  It is easier to leave these at our farm sites and not have to drive a tractor etc.  I spray fence rows and check fences with one.  The CA, and three 15's go on tractor cruizes.  We share  ours with club members who don't have a tractor handy or ready to drive.  The more they are used, the better, harder on stuff to set idle.

Have a 2X, 3X and a 22" 1X breaking plows (all SC) and a 2X 3PTH plow; a 14' and 6' disc, a 3pt 2 row corn/bean planter, 6' landscape rake, 6' brush hog, 5' box blade, dirt scoop, 6' snowblower, and a recently acquired 6' roto-tiller. Have a L306 under my CA for lawn mowing around the pond and the ditch banks. Also have a L59 Woods mower that I can mount on my D12 (or spare, tired CA to mow my trails). The winter keeps the D15 with bucket and D17 SIV busy with snow removal and the others get a rest (and/or come into the shop for maintenence/repairs/upgrades). The summer sees all my girls happy running the implements doing my food plots (and making new ones)...and doing the same for several neighbors and keeping the grass mowed and trails tidy. I loan out one of my D14's to a good neighbor for raking hay.

my newest is a 1961 D 17 . I've got a WD45 WD a WC I40 & the D17 that I use for most of the work around here. once in awhile i use one of the others for small chores. Don't do enough farming to use them all.

A Super A,and an 801 Ford,plus a Troyblt Horse tiller was all my gardening equipment for the last few years.
