Not much equipment got borrowed or loaned out in our neighborhood other than there was only a couple guys with choppers and blowers to fill silo and that was done at X cost per acre. Maybe we were wealthy farmers but it sure didn't seem like it at the time. One thing that did happen almost every spring was helping everyone get done plowing. If you got done you helped the neighbor before you greased the plows and put them away. You got paid with a trip to their fuel tank by being invited to eat a meal with them. Funny thing was with all the brand loyalty there was in equipment nobody seemed to mind off brand help when finishing up. We had the only A-C on the road so we were outcasts no matter where we went. There was a bit of help that went back and forth when baling but most families had a bunch more kids than they do nowadays.
You speak of hogging ground there was a big piece of ground down the road that was in an estate and it was to sell this past spring at auction. There was all kinds of "deals" being struck like I'll buy it and I'll keep this quarter and sell the other to you if you dont run me up etc. But one guy circumvented the entire process by offering the daughters a BIG price and they took it. Guess that's just how it is now a days?

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
