I saved one tractor from my parent's farm. A 28 hp Mahindra. A few implements too. At my step son's place, we are plowing new ground.




Behind the small wagon is the patch I plowed up, disced and raked. It contains three rows wide of sweet corn, then two rows of Butternut squash hills and then several varieties of pumpkin hills.




I also just purchased a DR walk behind brush hog. This one just came out of the crate. It's 26" wide with a 17.5 hp engine. I need to set it up this weekend.
It will cut trails and keep the sides of the grass patch down around the garden. Dad had one and it was worth it's weight in gold. I almost cried at what I had to let it go for when I sold the farm, but someone got a good deal. I can't wait to use this one.

Looking good Dave. That's some nice equipment Ya go there too!
I know your son must be grateful.☺

Come on Dave, you know that tractor is the wrong color.

Nothin runs like a Deere. Nothin cost like one either

That is a good looking tractor even if it isn't green. Like the DR too.

we bought a DR walk behind bush hog 20+ years ago when we were running a deer hunting club .... its a tough piece of equipment

Can I borrow the tractor Dave?

Nice work going on there Dave. Those Mahindra's are good tractors.

Dad was always partial to Farmalls and John Deeres. He had Farmall H's and a Super A at his dad's farm. He kept the Super A. I couldn't keep it, but wish I could have. He also had two John Deere B's and a John Deere 4o. I loved hearing those two cylinder engines running.
He bought three of these diesel Mahindras later in life. The one pictured was the last one. The other two had buckets and easily sold. This one he used as a run about to tour the farm when he couldn't hardly walk anymore. No one was interested in it so I decided to keep it. I had used them all on the farm and they always did a good job. Pretty straight forward tractors. Dad was impressed with them, although I know he would have liked them to have been green.

My step son put in a garden this year. Some of the first things ready were my favorites, radishes. I know he and his girlfriend put them in for me. He even at the smaller one and liked it. There's something about pulling it from the fresh earth, wiping it off and eating it. It just makes it taste that much better. Here he is proudly holding the bounty.
