@tmonteIH I didn’t know they made an open platform 1085. I thought the 285 was that tractor.
@tmonteIH Little 1085 was a handy tractor ….. I liked the 1100 to dig post holes With that reversible pto it was handy in gummy Shit
@tmonteIH Grandpa and dad bought a slap wore out 285 in the early 90s that had been a right of way mowing tractor. Lots of cussing and patching things together on it but it has been hands down the most reliable tractor we’ve ever had
@tmonteIH Oh, the originals has cast tie rods that had a propensity to snap off on the right side. that made for some interesting Moments in Farming.
