Do you name your tractors?

[Dave W]

I've recently been to a place. Pair of brothers, bit backwards maybe but god honest hillbillies.
Anyway, everything on the place has got a name.

There's more but I'm not sure it's ok to repay them.
Anyone else do this?

teg....nash 885xl
smeg...nash 885xl
miss case...cs78

i can't afford to replace them so they're like family members

 

[Nearly]

Ridiculous behaviour.

 

[BBC]

Call them all sorts of names at times.

None repeatable on here however.

 

[SamN]

Er... Umm...

Work colleagues son suggested I should name my R series JD at work 'Ruby' as it begins with R. It's kinda stuck.

Thought then our two at home should have names, so they're Rosie and Robyn.

 

[sjt01]

No, but we name our cheese vats, based on where we got them - Henry, and the smaller one Henrietta, Friston. Easier than remembering 1000 litre, 750 (or is it 800 litre?), 500 litre

 

[Bob lincs]

Our mulli based avadex spreader is called Gordon after the man we brought it off .

 

[Vincent]

When we had sheep all the rams were named, mostly after the previous owner. The only exception was Rambo a beautiful charollais ram that some how bust a back knee and had to go.

You forgot Big John, Roy, Roy Jr, Ronald and RaRa.

 

[Bury the Trash]

mine only get called names when they wont start

 

[snarling bee]

Good friends do that. Makes us chuckle. They think its normal.

4am, snow falling, roads to clear before 6am. Battery produces a painful clicking noise and nothing more...

Then the Tractor gets given a name very quickly...

Gertrude has been the name used on more than one of my older tractors...

and big willy

 

[DeeGee]

I love all my old classic Masseys but have never got as far as giving them names. Nor do I ever intend to.

Nowt wrong with a bit of daft to make the work go easlier. We can’t all spend the day on Grinder pal

 

[Suffolk Serf]

A long retired neighbour's men had "Growler" a JD 6810 that did the ploughing and spraying, "Stumpy" a JD 6400, so called as it was much shorter than the other tractors being a 4 cylinder and "Boots" a JD 3350 (I think) which had Terra Tyres on all year round.

 

[Hard Graft]

In grandfather time they had in 1979 daddy mummy and baby Deutz still have the baby

 

[melted welly]

Few names for the fastrac but none that would get thru the swear filter

 

[76masseyman]

Got a Ford backhoe that my missus keeps calling ‘the JCB’

It may have to go down the road.........

And get a missus that knows it is a FORD.
