Got a Farmall HV from the early 40’s not long ago. Not for cultivation, but to buck snow, spread gravel and turn compost. Doesn’t burn oil bbut the second gear (work gear) is a little sluggish. I call her the big, red scrap-heap but she’s alright and the price was right. Y’all can have yer big box store MTD’s.
My pal who now resides in Bemidji has a ‘50 Ford Ferguson that he uses for boat launches as well as general beach grooming...
It’s a great piece of history that just keeps on working...
