She bought a jeep....oops no, a tractor! by gilbertwood

She bought a jeep....oops no, a tractor!

Had a funny day today as I had to accompany my sister to a clearing sale to bid for a tractor her husband wanted. He was in Qld, and we certainly didn't match the farming community that was there. Her husband isn't a farmer either but has an interest in his old family farm so wanted a little tractor. Anyway, she was the successful bidder and now the proud owner of this little old machine :) As for the title, it's from an annoying advertisement on TV here in Australia!
This is a great photo and your sister looks very happy. It's a cute little tractor!

Well done to your sis on the winning bid! It's even registered, did she get to drive it home? Great capture. :)

Very fun! How did you two get it home? Did her husband like it?

My Dad had an old Massey Ferguson for years which he took to Vintage Fairs. He wasn't a farmer either! They are nice looking tractors though ...

A lovely looking tractor, Oh and the lady looks nice as well. Wouldn't mind it but I think the supermarket wouldn't be to pleased if I parked it outside. Nice capture.

Very nice and great story to go with it.
November 13th, 2014  
Ha ha and yes they are annoying

@susiemc @hermann @denisefuller Thanks for great comments. She was excited when she got it :)
@gigiflower @flyrobin @terryliv Strangely we came up with the title before she even bought it :)
@karlow75 So you're one of those Red people too! her husband loves red as well and has 2 red cars! So naturally he loved the tractor for it's colour too :)
@darthkitty @cejaanderson @milaniet No she didn't get to drive it home - she wouldn't know how! The auction was over 1 hour away from here, but the tractor has to go 4 hours north of here yet! Her husband had previously talked to the owner about it should he buy it :) Her husband was thrilled when he found out we had got it :)
@hellie @seattlite @fjmom @janiskay @pyrrhula Thanks for visiting and leaving great comments. We had a fun day :)
@junep Yes the Massey Fergusons are very reliable tractors. That's another reason why he wanted it :)
@ladymagpie Probably not the best thing to drive to the supermarket :)

No matter the title, it's a great picture.....Maybe she'll let you drive this old tractor just for fun? A wonderful capture!
November 13th, 2014  
Lovely capture and delightful story.

@skskunky Oh no Susanne! I rolled a tractor many years ago but luckily lived to tell the story. However I've refused to ever get on one again!
@tonydebont Thanks Tony :)
November 13th, 2014  
The proud owner. Did you have to drive it home? LOL
