I was at my client's house, and I pulled out a book from her shelf. It happened to be this one. The Big Book of Massey Tractors (2001) I was looking for a photo of a tractor, as I'd done the barn in my drawing, and thought I'd put a red tractor front and centre! What a coincidence! I modeled my tractor on the first one.It is a Massey Harris Model 25, built between 1936 and 1946.
This is Harris, the other dude is Massey.
Coincidently, they have a photo in the book. This snow machine dates from the time of the trailer I found.
We have lots of tractors around here. There is a lot of hay harvested for agriculture.

Love your little painting. The tractors are very interesting. We have a lot around here, mostly green and yellow ones, and I love watching them. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie

bbbrrrrrmmmmmm brrrrrmmmmm.... you knows I's a fan of tractors! Love yours. YAM xx
How cool is that, I've just prepared for a tractor as well.
Being an old country girl, I love that barn and tractor. How lucky finding such a model for your art work.
great job on the tractor drawing Jenn! Don't know much at all about tractors-interesting styles. Happy PPF!
John Deere, Massey Harris, Case, Farmall, and not a single Fordson there to be seen. I grew up driving a small Fordson, two tyres had steel blades, then Dad's next one was with all rubber tyres, what an improvement. Hugh had a small Ferguson, many years ago, and even now would so love to have a tractor here.!!! That book, what memories and a treasure, love your painting, another for your book.
A great collection of tractor shots!
The tractor is a beautiful farm vehicle! The one in your lovely picture has a driver, but there are also driverless tractors that function with supervised autonomy.
Love the old tractors from the 40' and 50's...my time!
All these wonderful tractors reminds me of my childhood. Love your drawing.
I love your drawing. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and Grandpa would be driving around the big green John Deer Tractor. :D
Wonderful post with all the photos of the trackers. When I lived in ID I would go to the tracker parade every year. Love your tracker painting too.
Great to see all of the tractors and your painting was really good.
All the best Jan
Good Morning, Your art is delightful and how fun to have found a tractor in the book! You are talented!
