Tbh she is the most worked tractor here at times. She has power steering and is a dinger to get in around tight sheds for clean them out. Power loader on her for the job with a tine grab. Handy out.

Likewise here, but when neither are giving trouble ,Henry and Harry.

Of coarse naming tractors is silly but..........

698T named "Donkey", as she does the Donkey work and isn't always graceful.



135 named "Little Red Tractor" by the kids after their favorite TV show when they were very little.



390T named "Big Red" by the kids a variation on the above TV Show



365 named "Betsy" because she is the old cow that should have been culled years ago.



205 named "Wall-e" by the kids because the front is square and yellow.

Call the tractor what you like BR, I was only initiating a thread on something different to see if there are othere farmers out there that call their ole Deere Deerdera and the likes, I don't be pet naming all my machinery btw:-)

Funny how a lot of farmers refer to their tractor as though she was female.
Talking to an old neighbour one day and he telling me how he kept his old tractor even though the son wanted to get rid of it. 'She hasn't let me down yet.'
I'd often find myself going 'come on girl' etc if I was trying to start it in cold weather or getting out of a stuck spot.:cool:

Icelandicseige

Would call it "that ****ing yoke" or "Death trap" ... No kidding

Don't think it is just farmers, it's common for all machines to be referred to as female, no idea why. Many languages assign gender to objects also.

Just go on the number of it here . Don't really name the cows either . No imagination would be a problem of mine !
