Re: Peso The annual plowing demo
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. Thanks for sharing.

David your photos are very nostalgic and beautiful. Needs to be preserved for posterity. It makes me happy to be a part of Ontario as I often travel between Toronto and Guelph and enjoy rural life all the way. I do hope more younger folks keep up the tradition as I see only happy old timers in the photos. But that is the bane of our civilization today I suppose. At least we photographers can move out more often to our villages to document colorful rural life. And that includes me too. Regards.

Re: Peso The annual plowing demo
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.

Re: Peso The annual plowing demo
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 could be horse drawn. I lived and worked in Racine, Wisconsin for 10 years. J.I.Case was still making equipment in town, but Massey, McCormick, ... all had old factory buildings in town. They made and shipped out the farm implements to tame The Prairie. And the old farmers are just wonderful. Nice picture, but what they represent is powerful. Glad you were able to document them. Regards, Bob S.
