My grandpa has always loved to work in the fields, he finds it interesting and it relaxes his. What makes it even better is that he uses my great grandpa's old tractor. An International Harvester 130, it is sort of like a family heirloom. My great grandpa passed it down to my grandpa when he passed away and now when it’s my grandpa's time to go he will pass it down to my uncle. He says he would never sell it or use another tractor to work his land.

It’s not only the tractor he also has my great grandfather's 1995 Dodge Ram. He loves that truck and uses it for most anything. It’s tough and it can haul anything you hook to it. When we use them to work we know we are using something that is valuable to my grandfather. Last year when it was time to dig potatoes, we used the tractor to dig them up and then put them on the back of the truck. We got about the truck bed full and carried them to the house. My great grandpa's Dodge that we use hasn't broke down or messed up for as long as I can remember. It’s always driven perfectly and as far as mechanical problem the only thing that’s been wrong is a flat tire.

However my grandpa does not only use things that my great grandpa used, he also makes many of his own tools and supplies. Such as his drag which we tie to the back of the truck and use it to move things from one place in the yard or house to another. It’s only about five inches tall and about five feet long. It’s better to use for things that only need to be moved a little way because it’s lower than the truck bed.

Even though these machines aren't very new they work near perfectly. They have never failed us when we had a job for one of them and they are very useful. It's good to have tools that you can rely on when you need them. My grandpa has always loved to work in the fields, he finds it interesting and it relaxes his.
