We had a guy that drove drunk enough he lost his license so he drove his Farmall Super M everywhere he needed to go.

Eventually they got him for driving that without a license because he couldn't prove it was for farm use or something like that, it worked for a couple years though.

Another advantage of the horse versus the automobile.

We had a lady do the same thing only with some crappy mid 90's MTD garden tractor.

They actually busted her in the grocery store parking lot for DUI...george jones style.

Funniest thing was they impounded the mower and they contract with a towing guy here in town....who came out with his F650 rollback and winched it right up on the deck. The lady at the bank showed me the video. It was pretty hilarious

Seems common in a lot of small towns - back home, neighbour had similar issue over a DUI, so drove his International 4166 from farm to town and back after losing his license.

There was almost a monster truck type incident with the RCMP cruiser; but at last moment he took the ditch..​

He was more tactful and always stopped at Co-op for a bag of fertilizer, so "farm use". ​

That is pretty usual tractor, never heard of it before. Looks like a old non-articulated 4wd Case.

Case/IH used to be the go to tractor around here untill deere took over. I think the fact alot of IH dealers disappeared....or maybe all the young kids taking over grandaddys farm wanted to feel like they were in a aldean song

I dont know. I prefer the old tractors anyways

After the early 60's it was Deere's game to lose, they were always at least a generation ahead of anyone else.

What was a 20 year old tractor when I was a kid is a 50 year old tractor now... hard to fault someone for wanting to update at some point when they depend it.

4166 is couple generations older than the anteater; I didn't mind operating one, but if I remember correctly - the back half was imperial fasteners while the front was metric. At the time, I only had metric 3/8" sockets, necessarily appropriate for something as heavy as the 2 + 2.

Looks like it was updated into the 86 series, the 2x2's were the next generation (88 series) They are a weird beast having the cab on the back end. I am also not a huge fan of the 86/88 series cab...

But even like the Steiger built IH 4wd ones you never see. 7520/8000 series 4wd Deere used be somewhat commonish.

A former coworker of mine used to ride his horse to the local watering hole. The horse knew the way home and would carry him there, sometimes literally passed out I guess.
