Description
We found this well preserved Farmall M tractor on the grounds of the famous "goat lady", Ada Austin. She owns and runs an angora goat farm in Harmony, MN. After our cave tour we had to find this well known farm. When you stop by to see her you can pet the baby goats and buy mohair goods in the gift shop, which we did.
The entire place is painted purple and that includes this tractor! My husband restores antique tractors (a John Deere H and a RED Farmall H) so when we saw this tractor we actually were shocked and somewhat saddened... I HAD to take a photo of it. (I think Ada may be part of the red hat society!) For the record, she was a wonderful and welcoming hostess and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We even forgave her for painting her tractor purple. lol
I appreciate the views, comments and a special thanks to those who made my past images a favorite!
Have a great weekend.

What a great old tractor, excellent capture!!!
hey a purple tractor !! very cool are her goats painted purple too? hehe
WOW!
Nice picture like all of your pictures are. I have been there a couple of years ago, but did not see the tractor. Are you just passing thru or do you live in the area?
Beautiful!
Great find and capture!
OH I love it !!! I got some shots of one similar a week ago, not purple though. I will have to post it for you.
Beautiful crazy coloured farmall, I love it. Excellent capture!!! Have a full coloured weekend!!! :)
I love the purple tractor! Great shot!
COOL TRACTOR GREAT SHOT
Love the old tractors! Thanks for posting the background info.
Amazing image!!
it's an innocent-looking photo, but closer-looks show all your photographic sight: The big wheel in front is paralleled by the wheel-shapred shed in the background (and another wheel to the right of that); the right-most tree harmonizes with the poles holding up the canopy; the line of the tractor-base is taken up seamlessly by the purple fence in the background; the tractor seat seems to slide right off the roof of the shed, etc. etc. Maybe all intuitive choices, but it's what you do alot, and it makes a very musical shot. As for the tractor, I personally love the look of old decayed tractors as much as the shiny restored ones, and this one somehow has neither. I guess they just wanted to make it purple...A really fine shot, and the ground and amber leaves are perfect counterpoint to that big white awning; and I love that blue shading all over it. Really fine work Jodie...
thats a cool tractor in purple colour......very trendy....excellent captured
So does she have that famous purple cow as well? Interesting story and photo.
Gotta admit I've never seen a purple one before so this caught my eye Jodie ;)
BUY THIS TRACTOR!!! OMG, they have to be kidding with that color! Stellar POV employed in capturing this venerable old workhorse, Jodie!
I bet this has the tractor lovers up in arms! It looks quite good though and seems to be in an immaculate condition. Excellent pov and lighting.
My word, that's one unique tractor! Is that a fence back there painted the same color?! Smiling at Piet's comment, I bet the owner really has fun watching the reactions he gets. Neat shot!
Purple? Hmmm .. dont think I've ever seen a purple farmall before lol
Cool tractor, excellent shot! That one must be about 50 yrs old...
wow a boy racer tractor with low profiles, nice shot petty it dont have a go faster stripe and spoiler on the back:)
But it still is a very nice picture !! [^^], the world needs grape tractors too don't you think so? well Ada obviously thinks so [^___^] Cheers, Roger
