We use 2-190's, a 7060, and trying to get a 220 rebuilt to use. I bought a LT 70 Agco for planting and baling hay. Dad died and most is cash rented out.

The IB will be going into action soon pulling my Bolen's 4' finish mower around the property as soon as Spring shows up. (can't wait for either) I already broke my B with loader outta' moth balls and started straighting up the compost piles and using it around the property cleaning up Ole' man Winters rath around here. The 716H definately erned its keep this winter with its dozer plow keeping the driveway clear of 2 foot snow drifts and ice. That helped take the edge off the Winter months getting to use that tho. Just picked up a 42" snow blower attachment for it for next season to try. The RC and WC still need a little work on them yet before they're back in action. I'm sure I'll find some work for them to do. The G is in a million pieces in the basement under going a resto, and the C is waiting for its turn to come up on the resto block. Gonna be a while for that one tho! I keep the Orange busy round' here in the summertime thats for sure.....

I have been using mine for as long as I can remember, and my Mother has pictures from before that! Puting new rings in my '44 C this morning/afternoon/evening. I have 3 with mowers on them, but this one got used once too many times as an HD5 pulling brush according to Mariette!
And AMEN to that Bill!!

My 1952 CA gets used every year from April - October using a Woods L-306 belly mower to mow about 3 acres including roadsides. It's not a parade tractor with shiny paint but it's still as functional as it was 59 years ago when it was new.

I have a 51 WD nf with fps that will soon get a 445 fully hydraulic loader on it, 53WD that has a L306 belly mower on it, a 1956 WD45 with fps that has an 82S mower on it, a D19D with a AC 519 loader on it, and 7 other WD/WD45s that get hitched to various AC implements as needed to disc, dig post holes, brush hog. One day soon I hope to use the rake/tedder, baler to put up some small bales

WD plowed snow this winter and pulls a brush mower a few times in summer. CA with Woods mower cuts a couple of acres of the lawn every week or two in the summer. CA also does occasional odd jobs, like it pulled the WD into the barn when it broke down a few weeks ago.

51 WD with loader moves snow in winter and brings round bales to horses. In summer it mows with 5' brush mower. Sometimes I just go for a ride in the pasture on nice days after work....

ROger that Mr Bill. My 47C awaits with cultivators for the 2 acres of sweet corn I grow every year to give away to my friends. I cultivate everything twice, and need to get side dressers built and attached. My 49 WD got her tune up and oil n filter changed today. She backblades on road and ditch duty, mowes lawns and runway with a 7 foor mower, rakes, teds, pulls hay loads, runs the 3PH fert spreader, plants corn, etc. Oh yeah she discs and drags ground when I seed back a piece. My D17III trims fencerows and pastures and hauls hay loads up and out of my hilly fields. The D19 mows, bales and plants corn or runs the drill. My 190XT is not home yet from where she's been sitting for 20 years. I plan on taking a year to restore her. My CA has 3 acres a week mowing chores with the L306. I will soob get either a 175D, 185 or 7000 to join in on the fun. Oh yeah I forgot the 15 II...we are working on her over to my neighbors. Her job will be rakin, teddn, haulin hay.

Had my 'ol 14 for 30 years now. I have done just about everything with it. Still pull 7' haybine and rake and bale some with it. Move hay all the time with it and have fed about every day this winter with it. Right now it needs cleaning up as it is covered with cow sh**.JP

My 48' C is on mower duty w/the L59 Woods as it is cheaper to run than my dads zero turn. My 54' WD45 has loader duty all year. My 57' WD45D does what ever is asked of it.

Usem for pleasure and a little work. Little plowing, raking hay, skidding logs, whatever I don't want to use my truck for. Depends on what needs done. I normally opt for the antiques. Takes longer and I enjoy the extra riding time

Interesting responses. I've noticed that the guys who collect the older orange tractors sure use them a lot more than the collectors of the older "green stuff"! Most I know seem to just leave them parked in the shed until they take them out to a show. The orange ones seem to keep on working, even if semi-retired.

most of the farmers around here used orange or reds ones when farming & buy a green one when they quit farming.

The '34 WC and '62 D-19 get used the least. Some harrowing and minor hauling with WC, deep snow push back with the D-19. Snow removal, loader work and sickle bar mowing with the WD. Weekly lawn mowing during summer with B and mounted Woods mower pulling a 60" offset. G is pretty much a sprayer tractor plus some sickle bar mowing. Did break the sod with the G and plow for the garden.
