I grew up in Dorset next to the local dairy farm and have fond memories of seeing tractors all year round. From delivering feed to harvesting the crops, there was always something going on. When the silage was ready, it was brought back to the farm in a trailer attached to a tractor and we use to hitch a ride down the hill.
It was an idyllic childhood.
Tractor Man Tom
Sheltered in the corner of the yard
stands the old green John Deere
rustic but still a working engine
ready to go any time of the year !
a great machine for towing equipment
through many different terrains
from feeding cattle and ploughing
to harvesting the yearly grains
chug, chug, went the old green tractor
puffing out smoke as it travelled by
rumbling through the country lanes
with tractor man Tom. riding high!
