I have subscribed to Farmer Tyler Ranch on You Tube. He uses his small Ford tractor in this way, to spread hay for his cows.
I was 8 when Dad got the "R".
I was often sent to town to get some groceries or JD parts. The little town was 7 miles away. That is the way it was in the early 1960s. Farm kids were expected to grow up quickly and help with the chores.

I really like your R120 doing real work. It reminds me of my Father's Old IHC. There is a kind of charm in the original look. Some old trucks make me think of old hookers with too much makeup.
One of my neighbours was an older escort. She bought the house in the late 1960s then sold when the rising real-estate took the price of her place over two million dollars. I remember her saying, "I never made this kind of money flat-backing-it.
I have not seen her for several years. She said she was moving into a high rise condo. She wore too much makeup and very strong perfume called Red Door. Her make-up looked like spilled M&Ms. She drove a BMW 320.

Not a big chore but my favorite is using it to go to the farmers market in the summer with the wife on Saturday mornings. Love your truck, Mike. Enjoying the truck with a loved one is the best type of errand
