We used a 1946 Farmall H with a front end loader around our place until we moved back in 2013, pushed snow, pulled trees, cut hay, pulled wagons, planting - you name it, it did it, that H was a Swiss army tractor.

Husband and I are planning Togo from Salt Life Farm life.
The goal is as much self-sufficiency as possible.

I really prefer these tractors to modern ones. Aside from being beautiful it is far easier to repair and even rebuild.

I was amazed how the farmer in the video restored one of them to looking brand new.
And I bet the quality is as you said!

My neighbor has a Ferguson not a massy-ferguson. He let's us borrow it as needed. Impressive old tech. Bride runs it, God bless farm girls cause I don't have a clue about tractors.

They have personality and character and are IMO hands down better than the new stuff - no computers to go bad, it's you and the machine.

Forgiving and surprisingly strong, to use an old phrase, they built them to last and knew what they were doing.

There use to be one north-northeast of Ponce DeLeon in Holmes county. It might have a Westville,Fl. address. It’s been a few years since I was over that way so I don’t know if they are still in operation

This guy is a ltrue Floridian: says his family has been in Florida since the 1800s.
Best video I have seen about chickens and animal advice in general and if you wan to streach it does apply to how most boomers raised their children, too.
