I know, I know, I know. I read Mike's reply down below and its a garden tractor, but your point is dead on. My biggest is a '70 4520 and my smallest a '40 something or other AC-B that I mow with. Although I do have a couple of Wheel Horses out in the barn that I start a couple of times a year because they're there. But to a fella with an articulated, everything I have combined into one heap of metal...is small, and maybe even smaller than that. Grin.
True story. Used to do some work for this guy that owns 6 or maybe 7 funeral homes, most pretty rural. The guy, real nice guy too has got a tractor collection like I've never seen. Could have a museum, not joking. We've talked a few times about tractors but I've never asked where...er, how he got them. Might've been some bartering going on, I don't know. So, at this one funeral home he sets out a Farmall M around Christmas every year, decorates it with wreaths and stuff, and its a sharp M to boot. Nice M. Anywhere else that might look out of place, but hey...are rural funeral homes and most folks around are farmers, so...I like it, and I suppose they don't mind either. I asked one time, "You keep them tractors way over there, miles away, so how do you get this one here? Drive or trailer it?" As it turns out one of the care takers there for odd jobs and stuff is a retired farmer, kind of a little guy, and he piped up, "No, I ride and steer while he pulls me here, and it wouldn't be so bad except he gets up to about 40 MPH, and it gets cold on that thing", and the owner, an old timer himself grinned and nodded along that he was tellin the truth. I am not joking. 40 MPH on a a N/F M freewheeling behind a hearse to a funeral home about 5 AM. Well, one screwup doing that and they were headed to the right place anyway. Talk about tempting fate. Real nice folks, and they don't bother with a trailer. Me, I drive or trailer. HaHaHaHa.
