Big ones, little ones, lawn tractors, farm tractors. Who has tractors? Here's one of mine. Gotta get some photos of the others.

cool! you got a cat 0 hitch with single bottom plow. is the plow from sears as well?
 
Yup. Sears plow and a disc harrow as well. I built the hitch. It's actually a narrow cat0 and not full width as sears built them that way for some reason.
 
I got a Scotts made by John Deere and a Craftsman that didnt have a hood so I fabbed a custom hood to look like a Busch beer can from and old water heater jacket...lol My buddy has the craftman rider now.

I think I have the JD version of your Scotts. Nice mower. I remember when you got the craftsman. I think you should have put a smoke stack on it like a train :D I have a soft spot for sears/craftsman. My "big" tractor is an '85 Roper built GT18 branded for Sears. It has a winch, snow blower, lights and hard cab on it right now.

yes, My rider is made by John Deere for Scotts, all parts are ordered through John Deere, just has a Scotts badging and orange body, but if changed to green/yellow its the same...lol
I like the rider, runs great, cuts great... strong mower to pull up hills while cutting tall grasses and weeds...
 
John Deere vs Steam Tractor:

Yep, steam has a lot of low speed torque that pulls about anything. Say that JD has about 700lbs torque vs Steam at least 3k lbs of torque.
 
I have a farmer friend who has a tractor he uses for farming his crops..... no easy task. I was sure I was gonna mess up, and mess up good. Thankful that didn't happen, but it was a neat experience, though.

Nope, sure isn't. Not even close to driving a vehicle. Quite different, and very bumpy. You would have a sore rump if it was the first time you'd done that, like I did. Boy, was I sore. And I misidentified the tractor-- a little different.
