[kj4kicks 151]

 

This month IMO is gonna be the best one yet- custom tractors! Post them up...

Steve,

Is this contest only for tractors that you currently own?

 

Ooops... I sure hope not.Most of mine have been "re-homed"

[whfan74 2,066]

Well I know he won't post it up, so I will do the honors for him. I am proud to have this machine in my collection, even though I am not the creator of it. Many kudos goes out to TT for this custom build which has provided much fun and enjoyment to our family.

The infamous "Drags-tor" (the black beauty)

Bob,

Just saw your question in terms of owning the tractor. We have not discussed this however I will make the executive decision in saying this... It will be will allowed if you have owned the tractor at some point or if you currently own it. If two members enter the same tractor for the same contest then the current owner will be the tie breaker. I sure hope we do not have to cross that bridge. If two or more "past" owners enter the same tractor and not the current owner then it will go to the most recent owner.

Looking at Scott's post about TT's creation I feel he did the absolute right thing and gave credit where credit is due even though he now owns the tractor.

[Ken B 3,163]

Thanks Scott, I was wondering when you were gonna post that one up...

 

Post em up Eldon! Your tractors speak for themselves... you created and built them so IMO they will always be yours...

Maybe also, as in Eldon's case, if you built it post it up.  Let's not add an entry for an item that's you don't have any involvement in though.

Lots of hammering and pounding on this one... the entire build is on YouTube (link in signature)... the ultimate goal was to clone the RJ tractor on the cover of Straight From a Horse's Mouth Second Edition and the original 1955 RJ advertisement.

 

The sad thing about the project... my computer took a dump about a month ago and I lost every pic and vid of this project... at least most of the vids are on YouTube and the project its done, LOL!

HUH?

[Stigian 1,234]

I guess I'd better post my Raider 20 6X6 here then

 

You all know the story by now.. It's been dragging on for long enough

 

 

She started life as a humble and very worn C-125..

 

 

 

A body swap soon had her looking like this...

 

 

 

Enter Garry and some beer..

 

 

 

And the idea was born 

 

 

 

Over four years later she looked like you know her now..

This is going to be a REAL tough decision on who to vote for this month!   For me it might come down to Eeny Meeny Miney Moe.....

Im saving myself the embarrassment of posting my 18 Auto again….You guys are simply amazing….I can't hang with the big dogs so I'll just stay on the porch…. 

[kaiser 100]

all of these are awesome. no way i can pic one, each one has it's own coolness that can't be beat.

[wheeledhorseman 574]

Ageed, it's going to be all but impossible to choose - so much work and so many ideas have gone into these.

They'd make a great calendar by themselves!

[Bluffhunter 37]

These are some GREAT machines guys !!!

I was thinking a custom built tractor calendar as well !!!

[953 nut 54,946]

[Buzz 502]

Is Bob Rock a member here? If he enters one of his 4x4s it's really going to make the choice harder than it already is. I've seen several of this months entrants in person and they are even nicer than the pictures show. It just might come down to eeny meany miney moe. I'm going to wait to vote at the last minute.

[buckrancher 2,679]

hey Buzz I shot Bob Rock and Bud (horsefeathers) a pm asking them to post up there cool tractors but have not heard or seen anything yet

Thanks Karl, that's very kind of you to say so.

I have been a bit slack on the video (and most other things) front of late, just life getting in the way, but more videos will be coming soon.

[doc724 925]

Wow, there are a lot of amazing machines here and there is no lack of creativity among the owners.  So, how does one "vote" for a winner and is there some objective criteria?
