Sold the tractor this past summer with an eye on moving out of here but this was my last "hook" with it in August of 2007.

I would have to look up the Serial Number to be certain but if I remember correctly it was built in 1973.

Depending upon soil conditions you should be able to pull 50 - 60 foot of cultivator with ease. turn arounds could be a bitch but I suppose one would get used to it.  :lmao:

Power distribution to the hydrolic system might be a tad tricky to work out but doable.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Fuel consumption would bankrupt a person. :p

Are you moving far? You live in a really beautiful area judging by the pics you've posted.

If you like NY rules and regulations, North Carolina isn't bad.  Lots of small towns if you stay out of Charlotte (Raleigh isn't very big).  And you're only an hour and a half from the Outer Banks.

I was never truly impressed with the Outer Banks. I did kind of like the Asheville to RDU area
