Garden Tractors and Implements

My grandpa has a $45,000 Kubota, but he won't let anyone else use it. He only uses it to haul big bales of hay to our cows.

He's had a lot of old tractors. My favorite is his David Brown, which he still has. It has fluid-filled tires and a giant weight box on the front. The design was to make it as heavy as possible to give it stability and traction. Modern tractors have 4 wheel drive, so even big ones like our Kubota weight a fraction of what the David Brown weighs. I remember raking hay with it when I was 16.
