Spotted this old Massey Ferguson that is still being used. Shot and edited with the phone. Thanks for commenting.

It's a real old timer and still usable, that's a miracle. Neat find.

...With what some of the newer, state-of-the-art models are going for these days, many farmers still retain these old relics for some of the farm duties...
Nice capture...Faved

Sandi, in the past the farmer had to rely on his craftsmanship to do his agricultural work properly and the tractor, like this old Massey Ferguson, helped him with this. The latest tractors are equipped with all kinds of modern gadgets that make agricultural work a lot easier.
Since I lack sufficient agricultural knowledge, I don't know which is better. I suppose that this solid state 'iron horse' can boast many years of loyal service and still will do this for some more time.
Very well photographed, resulting in a good capture with a nostalgic touch.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

I'm surprised it's still in use - great nostalgic capture!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
A very cool capture, Sandi. Having worked as a "hand" on a farm-ranch for 6 years as a kid, I found myself driving a tractor long before I drove a car, and so I was intrigued by that heavy block of nine plates at the bottom front of the grille (the ones I drove had no such attachment). So doing a little online research I found that they are called "suitcase weights" (no idea why "suitcase"), and, in the case of two-wheel drive tractors, they are necessary because the front axle must carry enough weight to provide steering control and stability. Modern weights run between 42 and 220 pounds, and the heavier ones are often thicker than these.
