I did market garden for many years, our big crop was Tomatoes and sweet corn . We also grew cucumbers , zucchini , green and red peppers, squash , pumpkins , and spanish onions. I think that the Ford 3600 would be a great tractor for you for preparing soil, and such but.... If you are going to garden on this scale you need a tractor to scuffle row crops with. I had a IH Super A with mounted scufflers that was the best rig for doing weed control, as you could get in close to the plants , and with the tractor being ofset, you looked forward and down at your work area. Unlike a conventional where you have to drive over the plants and look back over your shoulder at the cultivator behind you , with the off set tractor the cultivator is under the middle of the tractor. Another thing to consider is that the Super A was set up for 48 inch rows, perfect for row crop garden. The 3600 Ford will be much wider. One other piece of equipment that is very valuable to a row crop truck patch is , a one row transplanter. I had a Holland one row , two people rode the transplanter While one person drove the tractor pulling it. We would transplant bare root tomatoes , peppers and onions with this unit. Around 2000 tomatoes , 1000 peppers , and God only knows how many onions. Best of luck!

His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
