Wow an old Massey! The farm I worked at a long time ago had an old 55hp Massey. It was a great, reliable tractor. We had a couple closed cab, modern 110hp Masseys too. They were amazing tractors. A couple of 55hp Kubotos (sp?) as well. Massy-Ferguson always made first rate tractors. Cool captures.

The old timers are obviously filled with passion for their hobby. The horses are magnificent beasts, probably descendants of medieval war horses. In SA, ploughing was formerly done with oxen we still see that from time to time at cultural festivals. Thanks for posting. Alan C -Original

Dave, Very enjoyable set of photos. On the first one, I have a question about the hitch. It seems only the two horses on the right are in harness to pull. Am I missing something? Beautiful horses. Great having the farm buildings in there too. And I didn't realize Massey made equipment that
