    Back prior to 2006 any SMTA running would bring 10,000.00 . I have watched prices on SMTA drop to current levels. Mine was a fence row tractor with shinny paint on it when i bought it but it was what I wanted had all the bells and whistles I was looking for. IE : LP, single front , hydraulic tree hydraulics I had to restore it three time to get it to my minds eye. It was wore out front to rear ! I love it and have spent a fortune on it but the pleasure it gives me to look at it ,I cannot put a price on . It’s basically a new tractor now . Have no idea how much it would take to buy it from me. I know no one would be crazy enough ! Btw my BIL driving top pic me on bottom pic tony

    I was watching the cotton picker, But knew it was older restoration and at minimum needed a set of tires upon arrival here . The killer was the 10400.00 hauling quote to Cali. So, I cooled my heels and kept my hands in my pocket. Tony

    Yes Alan, the top one is what i was familiar with. However, mine is like your Dad's in only four rows . Never thought I would see one in four rows much less fast hitch ! Thanks for the information. Between the rake FH and hoe FH I had to get them, The four row is so much easier to transport to shows and most of us 50's 60's guys started with four row 38"s Thanks ,Tony

    Basically I am , the rake is just a little TLC along with hoe ! Lol Carol says that counts as restorations in her mind also ! Lol she is probably right , along with you BJ ! they looked so small and easy and the devil made me do it ! Spending five days looking , smelling and touching Red lead me to the near occasion of Sin . Blaming Ohio ! Ha ha tony

    yes , my plan is to take less tractors to show but to include IH equipment of my early time period behind each I take . So my vision is SC with hay mower , then the 806 bean cutter , then the 300u with hay rake , then SMTA with baler . That rake worked behind the mower and the bean cutter when I was in high school and after and the baler baled the hay and the bean straw after harvester . Would like them all in line in a parade and all IH . I think the hoe will look good behind the 560 it was period correct tony

    We were all 38 inch rows . Some 40’s on west side but 38 was normal . most guys out here used till n pack to crust break but on some land left us vulernable to wind . I could not afford to have a dedicated hoe just for rain events so I used a till n pak that I already had . The wealthy farmers had the IH hoes . what’s that tell you I had to wait till sold the farm and retired and 76 to afford a four row cotton rotary hoe !! tony
