1949 John Deere M
This is what I used to break up the sod I had in place before applying the amendments and after to provide an initial incorporation. I custom designed the cultivator on the rear and after some initial adjustments it worked great. Most people want new equipment, but there is something to be said about some of the older tractors and I have always liked this style. My dad and I spent some time over the winter getting it ready for a busy growing season since I will be using this at an area farm for cultivation and weed control. As a result it will not get used in the pumpkin patch which only served as my testing grounds.
This tractor has the unique two cylinder sound and produces about 18-20 horsepower from its 100.5 ci (4.0inch bore and 4.0 inch stroke) gas motor. For such a small tractor it weighs in at a hefty 2,600+ pounds as it has the optional rear wheel weights to provide more traction in the field.
