Roy, Admit it. You're a snow freak. You have been since mom told you, "Roy get up and help shovel. It's really snowing outside!"

getting there , that is why I got a tractor so I cant go help all my friends and family that call every time, we get a big snow , last year we had two storms of over 30 inches and i l plowed all day for two days and wreck my truck , and got a thankyou , so I sold my truck , now they don't call I've been in the seasonal property maintenance business for about 15 years, it started off as a side gig while I was working and a foundation for some income in retirement. If there's 2 things I've found that folks don't see the value in and don't like to pay what it's worth, it's snow removal and firewood. As for snow, I don't think people like to have to pay to have something managed that they don't like and which is eventually going to melt away.

Great tractors. I have a 1950 Farmall Cub that still purrs like a kitten. Easy to work on and parts are readily available. I grew up on a 50 Farmall Cub, It took care of the big gardens that supplied the grandparents summer produce stand. Dad bought it in the spring of 1950 for $995.00 delivered. Single bottom plow, 2 section disc, cultivator and a spring tooth drag. Those attachments were another $250.00. I just recently sold it to a friend/ tractor collector. He has it about 75% done in a complete showroom restoration. I have 4 pictures generations so far on the seat of the same tractor. I started it one more time with the hand crank the day my friend drove it on the trailer.

I live at the dead end of a 1/2 mile gravel road. I have a S-10 with a plow. The road surface is about 40 foot wide. I always plowed the width. After several years of not one thank you. I now plow a 8 foot wide path to the main road. The neighbors can shovel the 20 foot of banked up snow to that path. Till the county truck comes 3 days later.

I like open cab tractors. I am on and off the thing so many times when I am working that a cab is just a bother to me. Even with the AC I had in the big Massey F . If I had kept it I would have taken the cab off the thing.

If I had kept it I would have taken the cab off the thing. I understand that. One thing I want a cab for is you can get them with a buddy seat. That's much safer than sitting on the fender like when we rode along when we were kids.
