I passed a field filled with tractors in Tamworth, NH. and stopped just to make a few photos. These antique tractors harken back to a simpler time.
The way in which the front ends differ is interesting. Obviously, the one with the bucket on the front is different but if you notice the John Deere tractors’ front wheels are set close together while the Farmall’s are fairly wide apart. There are a couple of tractors here that I can’t tell the make from this image.
I’ve found getting a decent image of a spider web to be challenging. The light and background make a big difference. I found this web on one of the tractors.
There is something about a red anique tractor . . .
I totally agree, Liz. I hope you’re having a great day. We are finally getting a bit of rain from a passing thunderstorm.
Yes, I had a good day, thanks, Chris. We got hit with the thunderstorm, for which we were very grateful. The rain has been sorely needed.
They would make great toys for adults.
Exactly!
Oh how we love tractors. We have a ‘57 Farmal…❤️
And how about that spider web… nice!
Happy week to you, Chris!
Thank you, Nancy. Lucky you to have the Farmall. Have a great week.
Great find, they look well looked after.
Thank you. Yes, someone must really care for them.
Remember those! Red tractors yeah!
Oh yeah!
Reminds me of “Old Threshers Days” in Iowa. 🍁🍂🌾
Than sounds like fun.
It was one of many area festivals from Sweet Corn Festival to Wine & Cheese to Tri-State Rodeo to Mexican Fiesta. I loved those times. 💕
I wasn’t a farm boy, but I do enjoy the sounds of those old tractors at the antique tractor pulls that happen here in the Midwest.
You know, I’ve been to horse pulls and I’ve been to ox pulls, but I’ve never been to a real live tracro pull. That’s going on my bucket list.
are you in close proximity to NH. lucky you. It is a State I want to explore more of. Who knows now when the borders will reopen.. Great find. Waves a sunny good morning.
Tractors like that one can be found around here at places. Most of the time they are covered with weeds or rusted. They are tractors from the past, but nice to photograph.
I agree. It would be fun to fix up an old one but I have neither the skills nor the use for a tractor.
I admire the amateurs with the patience and knowledge to maintain these old tractors so easily forgotten after having served so much.
I admire the people who mainttain them also. Just finding parts can be a struggle, I imagine.
Travelling around Prince Edward Island, I once came across a large collection of Cockshutt tractors, dozens of them in front of a farm. While doing some research, I found out that the aging owner was having a hard time trying to sell them. It’s sad that what can be a costly passion for some people falls into no value when it hits the market.
That is sad. i guess keeping an antique tractor is a dying pasttime.
Beautiful! I have nominated you for an award. Check out my post #@LET’S BLOG AWARD. Don’t forget to answer the questions in the end.
Thank you so much. You’re awesome!
Thank you Milford. That”s so sweet of you.😊.And don’t forget to answer the questions at the end of the post.
Hey you nailed the spider web! Nice work Chris! ❤
Thank you so much, Sandra. I’ve been working on getting a good image of a spider web all season.
the spider web seems such a difficult shot, well done!
Thank you. I have another spider web shot on the next bridge I’ll post, but this one came out the best so far.
Elegant tractors and great images Chris 💯
I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Distant family connects me to one of those brands, and from the little I know of that time, it wasn’t always simpler. A time of laying the groundwork for so many of today’s complications. Still, I do love seeing the old tractors.
They are great to see.
Every little boy’s heaven! 😄
Most certainly
