The Tractor Collectors 10 Commandments

 

1  Thou shalt not store your tractor outdoors, except the modern stuff.

 

2  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s tractor, workshop or battery charger.

 

3  Thou shall not read Tractor & Machinery or Classic Tractor in works time, for it is thy employer who makes it possible to keep up the subscriptions.

 

4  Thou shalt not love thy tractor more than thy wife (as much, but not more).

 

5  Thou shalt not despise thy neighbours John Deere, nor his Farmall or even his Grey                     Fergie.

 

6  Thou shalt not allow thy sons or daughters to get married  (or produce grandchildren) during the holy days of the rally season.

 

7  Thou shalt not deceive thy wife by taking her on a romantic Sunday drive, when it’s actually a Tractor Road Run.

 

8  Thou shalt not promise thy wife a conservatory and then keep the Grey Fergie in it.

 

9  Thou shalt not tell thy wife the entire cost of the restoration, at least not all at the same  time.

           

10 Thou shall not buy the wife a trolley jack for her birthday!
