That would have been state of the art maybe in 1935......but could you imagine doing 16 hour days on that thing day after day after day?
I'll bet they thought this was way better than walking behind a horse for 16hrs.
Nice video Nick.

Imagine doing either.....we've got a lot softer I reckon.

What a bone shaker that old tractor would have been.

They’re surprisingly very nice to ride on dirt/grass, better than tires. Now hitting a rock is a different story!  :D

That looks like fun Nick.

Starting them off young on the tractor. :)

This one is still a little big for them, I have a little B Allis that they drive around the yard quite a bit (with the lugs removed  :D  )

These wheels look very dangerous - very hot tractor ;D
Arnold (I always wanted a tractor - but my wife >:( )

I had the steam collection and the tractors, then got the wife... now I just sneak more into the collection  ;)  It’s a little hard to do with larger tractors, but I did sneak one in that she didn’t know was new 😂

Very nice video, Nick. I can't show this to my grandson, otherwise it could be expensive for me. 😂

But the grandson is a good excuse to buy toys for both of you  ;D
