[AT] Tractor brand preferences

[Robinson]

    We have had a bit of fun over the years here with tractor favorites. 
I like to pick on Scott Pike for liking those "lopper-jawed orange 
things where you sit on one side and the foot clutch sits waaaay over on 
the other where Abe Lincoln couldn't reach it...   :-) Then the red guys 
like to harass the green and yellow guys (hand clutches and only half an 
engine) and vice versa. This week I have observed another tractor 
prejudice. The horses absolutely do not like my old 1948 John Deere A. I 
was not so surprised when I fired it up there in the same barn the first 
time because they had never heard it before but yesterday I drove it 
down there a couple of times moving wagons and they had my whole trip 
down there to get used to hearing it coming but still freaked out. I 
have made dozens of trips  with the Farmall Super MTA and they ignored 
it from the start. We have used son Scott's Oliver there several times 
and moved the Gleaner combine several times, no reaction other than 
looking. I guess they are just not John Deere fans...   :-)
    Me, I love them all.
