Negaunee<\/strong> – May 15, 2014<\/em> –\u00a0 We have an International M tractor that we just love.\u00a0 It’s very clean and could be put in any parade around.\u00a0 The hydraulics are strong, the rubber is in very good shape, and every thing functions.<\/p>\n

A while back, we added a 3 point hitch to her, the heavy duty one.\u00a0 This has been very convenient because we run a six foot brush hog to keep the ferns down in the horse pasture. It takes a pretty powerful machine to pull a four bottom plow or run a hefty six foot hog in thick brush and grass.<\/p>\n

You know, there’s nothing worse than lush, tall, thick ferns, among the short Timothy springs and birds foot tree foil that are striving to rise up to make the horses happy.\u00a0 But then there’s those darn ferns that just never seem to give up. My M does them in though.<\/p>\n

I just started the M up two days ago after a long winter.\u00a0 The battery held its charge, the motor clicked over and fired instantly, and BOOM PUTT PUTT I was going this spring.<\/p>\n

I took her for a spin down the old sandy road and I accidentally put it in 5th gear. And holy cow, I hung on for all I was worth.\u00a0 I even lost my new Green Bay official NFL Packers cap. It blew right off.\u00a0 Good thing I have those sturdy new fenders.\u00a0 What a sweetheart!<\/p>\n
