Ah now, Zetor are a decent tractor, but they're no Massey. Of cousrse, if it's a small, cheap tractor you're looking for, Komatsu are your man. I'm telling ya now, for the price ye'd pay for one of 'em your gettin a fair ould tractor. Personal choice has to be the John Deere though. Sheer class there like.

As a young boy, I was completely obsessed with tractors. I had pictures of tractors all over my bedroom walls; I had tractor toys, tractor T-shirts, a tractor carpet, and duvet cover, the whole works. I ate, drank and slept tractors. On my 17th birthday I was thrilled to get an invitation to go to a tractor factory nearby and test-drive a brand new tractor.

My excitement was incredible as I told my family and friends. The great day came and I went to the factory for the test-drive. Unfortunately something went terribly wrong with the tractor when I was driving it and it flipped over, trapping and breaking my leg and fracturing my skull.

I was so upset and tried to sue the tractor company for negligence. But the company would have none of it and told there was no liability and I could get lost!

You can imagine I was very annoyed with tractors after this and vowed to shed them from my life completely and forever.

All the posters came down, the toys were given away - tractors were GONE.

Many years later, I went into a bar for a drink. Inside, the cigarette and cigar smoke was terrible but through it I saw a beautiful girl seated at the bar on her own. Tears were streaming down her face.

I asked her what was wrong and she said that the smoke was making her eyes sting and stream with tears.

With that, I looked around and then took a huge breath, sucking in all the smoke. I then walked outside into the car park and blew all the smoke out again. I went back into the bar where the air is now clear and sweet and sat down next to the girl.

"That was amazing!" she said, "How did you do that?"

"No problem" I said

"I'm an ex-tractor fan"

on my grandads farm (197?) we used to have this old Ford, it had seen better days so now it was only used for flattening silage! The exhaust pipe was a bit of old scaffold tube and it used to blow perfect smoke rings every time you took yer foot off the accelerator and the spring under the seat had gone as well. :eek:
