Can you or are you old enough to remember when tractor dealers brought a tractor to the farm to demastrate?
I remember, 1957 dad was shopping for a new tractor. The MM dealer brought a 445 with a three bottom three point attached plow to our farm. We were plowing a field getting it ready to plant winter wheat. It had been a dry August and the soil was clay, that MM not only plowed the ground but turned a furrow 8 inches deep. I remember dad and the dealer measureing it. Dad told me to run it since I would be using it the most. It needed weights more than it had on the front since at the end of the field the front came up sooner than the plow.
I have always had a warm place in my heart for the 445. Some day I'll find the right one and own it. Dad never bought a new tractor then, are you old enough to remember the resession of 1958?
