Our Latest Farm Purchase

For years now, Harold has been wanting a good tractor/loader to use for things around the farm.   We need something reliable that will move dirt, move large rocks, move snow, haul logs, etc. etc.   So finally we were able to purchase this 400 FarmAll tractor with a DuAl loader.   It will be so useful and great for so many things around here.  This is something we should have had at least 10 years ago!  This tractor is a 1955 version, but has all new hydraulics, and the engine was recently updated.  It's still in pretty good shape for an old gal!  And the price was within our affordability.   I suppose now I'll have to learn how to drive this thing?  Maybe not - might be a husband thing, ya know?
Harold drove this home from where we bought it, 10 miles away.  I followed behind in the pickup, in case I had to tow him.    Didn't need to, though, the tractor made it home just fine.   Harold was pretty cold, even though he was bundled up good!
