[AT] Hauling tractors to shows

[John Hall]

Farmer, I've got a friend that raises about 300 acres of hay for re-sale and 
collects old iron. He is on his second roll-back. It works great for hauling 
hay as well as old iron. If needed he can tow a trailer as well. Just make 
sure you have enough license or the DOT may give you a souvenir.
