Learning how to take care of your equipment is something everyone needs to do.
It is more than just a thing of iron and rubber.
Farm tractors are like a mans best friend, but when trouble comes, you know that a tool is what you need to get the job done, when you have to get it right, this is how you do it, with raw power, and know how that you can only get from a tractor.
If you are interested in learning more about the truth, farm life is not the way that holly wood would like you to believe, it is not easy, but it is rewarding, but how could Hollywood get it right anyway, they have never had to deal with a well problem, or fix a pipe that froze up in the winter, no, Hollywood, will always be an outsider on a farm.
There are many stories to hear, about life on the farm, but the one that seems to mean the most, to me at least is the story of the tractor.
The tale of the tractor, you know there is a lever and a fulcrum in life that you seldom see and for this tractor it is a thing that I need to do, I inherited this tractor mostly because I am the oldest, and also because no one else wanted it.
So here is the story, I will continue to add to this story so you can see, I even have video, which might be boring, but should be interesting, at the same time, so here we go.
One day I was trying to spread some gravel with my tractor, I had inherited, from my father, and not knowing the condition of it, I ran it like one would a sound working tractor.
I ended up causing some damage to the tractor at least a little of it, some was just because it was old.
