    Keep the wrecker and do exhibition pulls with it.

    No one is making me choose anything, but I am not going to make my house look like a wrecking yard either.

    If I trade the wrecker on a tractor I can tow the tractor with my pop's truck and trailer or my dad in law's combo. I don't want to ditch Brutus, but having an old farm tractor to use for pulls during the summer (and there are a shocking number of them within a 100 mile radius of my house) would be neato and if I can score one that comes with a plow blade of removable bucket loader on it, I could be Mr. Plow again in my neighborhood over the winter.

    Just thinking out loud. I thought it was cool she brought it up!

    I personally, would rather have a tractor anyday. So much back-breaking work can be done with even a small tractor!

    A friend told me I was delusional! I almost fell off my unicorn.

    She thinks your tractors sexy.


    I bet you would get more fun out of an old JD/Oliver/Ford/IH/Farmall than you ever will with the wrecker...the wrecker is cool but man, the fun potential with the family at he pulls, plus the boys could pull in a few years...memories...dude, I'd be on that like stink on shit.

    I think that is one of the reasons she was into it, because there were a bunch of youg kids pulling. Like this guy...

    Is that Pun intended??

    I say keep the Wrecker and buy her the Tractor........ This is what I did with the '71 GMC, it is "her truck"........

    And I ask what would be the bigger conversation piece, the Wrecker or a tractor.......Unless the tractor you want to get is something special, like the wrecker is I'd stick with the wrecker......

    Why not the best of both worlds? Keep the wrecker and get THIS tractor. From an email I got from a guy in Ontario.

    Braub, you like tractors. That's Okay with me. More importantly, it seems your old lady is Okay with it too. Go ahead, start looking and get yourself a tractor. If you think about it, certainly you can see that you deserve a nice tractor, and like you said, pullin' with it could be an exciting family activity.
