RE: Just sopping in to say howdy to you all
What kind of corn do you grow? Field corn is in the ground here and sweet corn is going in as we speak. What kind of tractors do you have? I think we should do a internet tractor show. Here are mine, a 1941 model A farmall and a 1953 Super C with fast Hitch.
I got the A from my dad when he did a couple of year ago. I drove it when I was a kid on the farm. The Super C was on a rock pile and was about to be scrapped out for the steel. I paid 100 for it and had it running in two hours. I used it this last winter to plow snow with. It turned out to be a great little tractor. Ron

RE: Just sopping in to say howdy to you all
This is probably a pretty dumb question, but I grew up in New York City and wasn't around tractors too much. So...
...why are tractor tires, the back ones, so large? I would imagine it has something to do with helping the pulling power of the tractor...?

Yes to a point the higher the HP, the taller and wider the tire. Also the hight of the crops also will dictate that a farmer needs a taller tractor.
Some of the old Farmalls are called HV, or AV. These were Model A's or H's that were VERY tall. the V was short for vegetable. These were tall tractors for tall crops. This first picture is a picture of a farmall AV.
This picture is my Farmall A in a parade. You can see how much smaller the tires are. Ron

RE: Just sopping in to say howdy to you all
I grew up on a farm and even worked the farm with dad till 1989.
I collect Massey Harris tractors, do have a Ford 5000 gas. a bunch of garden awn tractors.
Since we got the bees we havn't been doing a lot of stuff with the tractors though.
This one is Kares 1954 Pacer plowing the drive this winter.
Kare has 3 of her own tractors. A 1946 model 20 wide front, and a 1941 model 81.
