Old Farm Tractor

Sitting in the sunshine

I'm not sure if this is old enough to be an antique or not, but it looks old to me. Old farm machinery is commonly used as "lawn ornaments" in rural areas.

Processed with a bit of sepia

I think it looks a tad older in sepia, don't you?

In celebration of the old and wonderful "stuff", I  am connecting to Rubbish Tuesday HERE.

  1. It is certainly VERY rusty looking, the sepia shot is definitely more sympathetic!

  2. It does look older EG but the rust looks much more appealing in the first.

  4. Old enough. I think it's been a while since farmers opted for the "bucket seat". :-)

  5. Really big lawn ornaments! They are also a reminder of past history.

  6. Yep, old tractors, ploughs, milk separators and hay rakes are common 'yard ornaments' around here too. This is a great old tractor.

  8. The tractor certainly has a kind of magic and I am sure a colourful past - both takes are good - looks a bit sad in the sepia - Jane UK X

  9. The construction of the wheels fascinates me.

  11. ooooh I like this old tractor, nice and rusty looking. Unfortunately no room on my front yard for such an ornament.... but I'd love to have it!!!

  12. It is old enough to qualify as a photographer's dream subject. The more rust the better :-)

  13. I think it is most definitely antique and also beautiful. i love rust and sunshine and anything old

  14. All this old tractor needs is a large potted plant on the seat. I like old machinery and sometimes see it used creatively as planters.

  15. It looks old to me in both versions.

  20. I really like the sepia version, but I think this tractor qualifies as an antique in any case.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh I think it falls into the category of antique. And I wouldn't want that wheel to roll over my foot. Ouch!

    ReplyDelete
  22. What a sweet old tractor!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow, I have not seen one like this! It looks wooden!! Or maybe that is rust. Great to compare both pictures. But looking at details, I think the color one shows them better. Around here there is a lot of old farm equipment used as yard art, too. I rarely know what they are, but Phil does. In fact, I have a whole picture folder of them. But nothing like THIS!! Outstanding.

  24. Yes, the sepia does make it look older!! It sure is an old one, with those all metal wheels!

  26. I think it looks older, too!
    I would love an old tractor, but I'd paint it primary colours!

  27. Truly a work of art, hard worker it is, or rather was in its day!

  28. I would say it is an antique ! Looks so romantic !

    ReplyDelete
  29. They say that something needs to be 50 years old to be an antique! The tractor and I fit the bill. Tom The Backroads Traveller

  30. Super shots. I like old machinery. Both shots look equally old to me. MB

  31. It has to be an antique because I remember this type of tractor in my youth and I'm an antique for sure. I think it's age shows better in the first shot. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. I like the warmth of the first shot, EG! Definitely an antique.

    ReplyDelete
  33. It looks just perfect in sepia though I like that yellow rust!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I agree with you on the sepia version. Very nice either way, but I'm drawn to that one more. Nice set!

    ReplyDelete
  35. The sepia effect is perfect for this old tractor! Nice work.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That is certainly a striking lawn ornament. I like the sepia treatment also.

    ReplyDelete
  37. The sepia does look older, but the other way is really neat too.

    ReplyDelete
  38. sepia always makes things look older. We have an old engine that has a new coat of paint.

    ReplyDelete
  39. That is a beauty! And I love the first photo best - in that old orange.

    ReplyDelete
  40. don't you just love old farm machinery? I think the sepia is a great touch.
    Happy travels and have a wonderful week. I am joining you at Our World Tuesday.

  41. That tractor is a beauty, EG. I like both photos.

    ReplyDelete
  42. It certainly looks old and rusty! I love both of them.

  43. Tina - Lovely tractor.
    I want to say it is an antique - no LCD displays :)

    Have a Beautiful Day!

    Peace :)

  44. Great old tractor! Wonderful pictures!

    ReplyDelete
  45. It certainly qualifies as something old!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Fantastic find and shot I like the sun and rust on the first one. There is no life in the Sepia one for me.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I really like the first photo best
    reminds me of some I have seen here

    ReplyDelete
  48. It's a wonderful subject for photographer and I wouldn't mind betting you're not the first. Great lighting for your picture.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh yeah- that's old! I don't know what model, though. I can vouch for the "lawn ornaments" statement..I see them in people's yards all the time. The other day I saw a super old hay baler..I wanted to get out and take a photo, but it was right in front of a house, and I hate to make people think I am stalking them. I think I will just drive up and ask if I can take a picture next time.

  50. This is great and definitely old enough to be an antique!! Great shots

    ReplyDelete
  51. I like the rust! I can see it on the Great Divide in a Willa Cather novel.

    ReplyDelete
  52. It has seen better days and served someone well.

    ReplyDelete
  53. such a cool, old tractor....I am drawn to this old farm equipment!!!!

  54. Great old tractor!~ I really like the second shot!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love looking at old machines in the countryside too....and have been photographing them recently. Your images are beautiful - especially the processed one.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Very nice processing on both images. I would agree with you that the sepia does make it appear a bit older than the first image.

    We see these 'lawn ornaments' around here, too. :)

    Thanks for stopping by to comment on my RT post.
