I grew up in the land of John Deere and Allis Chalmers. Fords weren't considered "real" tractors.
Many folks don't realize most of the John Deere Compact tractors since the 80's were actually built by Yanmar in japan. I believe they are still using the Yanmar Diesels currently. I only found this information out after restoring a Yanmar 4wd I use for plowing. Here is a photo of the Yanmar and Deere marketed the same tractor in the US, if you look on the frame of the Deere tractor it will say made by Yanmar in Japan. Yanmar's are very well made durable tractors, the one in the photo is a 1980 model and I use it all the time.

Anyone into restoring old farm equipment? Here's your chance, and they all run, I believe.
As a matter of fact I spent part of a summer a few years ago restoring one of those to use for mowing. It was a very enjoyable project, what surprised me was the readily available parts for a machine made in 1947. Here are two photos of it and a photo of a collection of restored Ford tractors which came about because the owners wife would buy him another tractor every year for his birthday. At family gatherings they would get all the Ford tractors out and wash them up for display. The Ford 8N tractor could be considered a lifetime investment if cared for properly. It does not have all the bells and whistles of today's machines but it did not have to be replaced every few years, it WAS an environmentally responsible design.

What I did to defeat the squirrels is hand the feeders from a line of very strong, very small gauge wire. The feeders are far enough from the ground and any supports for the squirrels to jump and small enough gauge to prevent the squirrels from walking the wire. It works quite well.
I'll second that!

Yes we are north of you in Elk State Forest, and they are all dropping their antlers. Good thing cause I've seen a few whitetails and an elk this year that have lost an eye from fighting.

We have a Sony RX100 and I can't imagine you would not be happy with one. Excellent point and shoot.

You may want to look at the Kinesis bags, I use a L321 or an old Lowe pro bag for my 400/2.8.

I faced the same situation a few years ago, looking for a digital projector that would give me the quality I had previously. It took a while but finally found one that surpassed what I had before as well as anything I used at any venues where I gave presentations. I purchased a Canon WUX5000 projector. I believe there is a newer version out now the WUX6000. The Canon gives me the same quality image on a ten foot screen as I have on my monitor. The projector has adjustments available for everything imaginable.
It is not the smallest, lightest, or least expensive. The lenses are purchased separately, you may purchase the lens that best suits your requirements. I would recommend trying several different brands and models if possible, particularly in various lighting conditions. After I did that and used the Canon there was no question which one I would purchase, I did not see anything else that came close. Good luck with your search wilderness.
