Tony Arrived This Week

Posted on December 9, 2016March 19, 2025 By stega

Several notes about this video: just after the second cut Agent Smith accidentally ran over one of our neighbor’s dogs. The dog, named Happy, is fine thankfully, but I had to chase after him and carry him a quarter-mile back to our place so I could drive him down the hill to the vet. No serious injuries were sustained, but it did take a bit of the glow off the new tractor experience.

Delivering Tony, a bouncing baby 1990 Hesston 80-75 tractor

Tony is our new tractor–a 1990 Hesston 80-75 (i.e. a Fiat). You can watch the Fiat promotional video below and revel in the awesome progressive rock soundtrack and talking animal bystanders. (Seriously, I think the movie Ladyhawke influenced this marketing movie.)

Ladyhawke, now with Steering-O-Matic

This is our second tractor, as shortly after moving in we bought the Ferrari (aka Dino), and while Dino is quite useful, there are certain things he cannot do because of the hills; thus, the acquisition of Tony.

Lastly, we will never, ever have a truck this size delivering something to us again. Granted, this one came all the way from Missouri by way of Los Angeles, but it was roughly 15 feet longer in trailer and cab than the 18-wheelers that delivered the wall blocks. Getting this one up and down the roads was a serious shepherding endeavor.
