I thought I would like to see all of your pics of farm equipment. All we have is a 1960 Case 430 Counstrouction King back hoe but it has a blown engine for now I have to put the new one in.

Thanks, she just needs repainted. I'll see if I can take pics of a pic of my grandpa's old farmall that my hubby restored - it's pretty enough we had wedding pics taken on it lol. LOVE the skidsteer most of the time but not at the moment, it's sitting taken apart in the barn aisle - waiting for a new hydraulic pump to get here. I'm ready for it to be back together, it's my motorized wheelbarrow :lol:
Ya I hear you on the skidsteer our little Backhoe I wish I had running. Especially right now I can get alot of jobs with our backhoe. I found out not to push that to far fast after that.

I really wanted to get an old tractor, but Ed said we'd be fighting to get it to do everything we wanted. Which since we decided *not* to try and hay our place, isn't as much as I thought. But since we do have about 4 to 5 acres of a 4-wheeler track the previous owners thought was a great idea..... It's needs flattening out. So we bought this:
We got to see it being put together.
The day it was delivered...
So far it's bulldozed half the 4-wheeler track, helped us move a shed and put the awning on, take down a couple acres of blackberries and sapling with the brush hog, put up hay and wood pellets, bring dirt in the barn to raise the level of the floor, plow snow off the driveway, move round bales, and about a 1000 pounds of pumpkins, dig a ditch, etc. I even once took it a few miles down the round to pick up a round bale that somebody lost going too fast around a turn. We've only had it since the fall.
I love this thing!
And my little Red 4-wheeler that is only two wheel drive.
My husband has the black Polaris Sportsman that I like much better. But maybe it's only because my Moto-4 needs a new carb and stalls out sometimes. Drive me nuts.
Tractor we picked up at auction, it's 95HP, so there isn't anything we can't do around here with it. Neighbors borrow it a lot, theirs is wimpy and they don't have all the attachments we do.
Polaris ATV, John Deere ride-on and our kiddy 4wheeler. The kiddy 4wheeler is now collecting dust and a matching set of 250cc 4wheelers have taken it's place.
The 3 4wheelers are used the most often. Due to property set-up, animals are pretty far from the house and nobody wants to carry a 50lb sack of pig food a couple miles. The Polaris has a 35 gal water tank strapped to it's rear rack, we are short on water hydrants so we haul water to the chickens with it.
Heres my tractor. Its a Massey Ferguson 2605. I got it when my wife and I bought our place. I have a 5 ft southern bush hog, 6 ft scrape blade and a chain harrow right now. i'm planning of getting a disc harrow or a PTO drive tiller for it soon. I'd like the tiller but they are about twice the price of a disc and twice the maintenence so it will probably be a disc.
