    Awesome. Love that model. I think 25 hp...not only stays under emissions...but is mire than sufficient for lots of tasks..and easy on fuel. Love that engine in the larger frame size. Tops on my wish list !
    Those old AC's just keep going!

    AC runs as good as anything I got, I would not hesitate to work that tractor 10-12hrs a day....Love my Kubota but AC is very special to me..

    Oh I bet...and that AC is easier to work on too ! I almost bought an AC model B last week...had an aftermarket 3 point hitch. Was a cute thing. Just couldn't make the drive to get it.

    I like alot of the old ACs, AC made them to last. This C I have has been in my family since new. It's had one engine overhaul and a few other parts but its a very good tractor. The Kubota will do alot more and is also very well built, but I won't live to see if it lasts 75yrs like the C..

    A family tractor since new ? That's saying something. Really special. I like that she still works too. Wouldn't have it any other way !

    Thanks, it was a long day. Used a Genie lift to trim limbs around the house...
    2 pecan trees 1014221257_HDR.jpg
    2 water oaks...they are a pain...little twigs all over the limbs,,,hangs up everything... 1014221512a_HDR.jpg
    Saved a few pieces of pecan for cooking 1014221857a.jpg
    And got some nice oak firewood 1014221901a.jpg
    My hunny used the tractor to move most of the limbs. I was too busy on the lift to get :ithappened:of her working...
    We worked from about 9:30AM till about 6PM

    Only about 30'.
    We took down a big pecan tree in Feb with a boom truck... 0226220824.jpg
    0226221012.jpg
    Maxed out to reach this limb, about 75 feet. 0226221016a.jpg
    We did a big sweet gum for our church the same day... 0226221301.jpg
    Letting the chunks fall... 0226221230a.jpg
    Oh, the 'Bota was used to load the pecan logs and clean up both areas.
