I don’t want to be left out on this thread. This is my JD 2320 which I have had since 2012 as new. Love it!

we built this hay storage and three stall unit for the horses, plus rented a Kubota KX 080 that simply dominated stumps.
 
It’s not a big tractor but it gets the job done around the house. Should have gone a little bigger to do more work on my 17 acre wooded lot but she holds her own.

I need to dig up my pics of the tractor/trailer we used to move buildings at Prudhoe Bay. It was big, kinda. The trailer had 90 axles in 45 pairs/180' long. You read correctly. Four wheels per axle and each axle was independently suspended and steered so it could almost rotate about its center. The tractor was from Germany. Huge is barely adequate to describe it. Oh, you ask, how big were the pre-fab buildings? Some were 5 stories IIRC. Each had its weight prominently displayed. I remember most were over 400 tons with some over 500. Tons mind you. Your average semi carries like 20, right? The buildings were made in Portland and sent north by barge. The trip on gravel roads from the dock to wherever the buildings wound up were sometimes 4-5 miles. For safety laborers spent weeks laying 1-1/8" plywood end to end on both sides of the gravel roads! Many many semi loads of plywood. At the end of the construction season they were all picked up and most were burned because they were imbedded with gravel. Greta woulda had a stroke!
 
Pretty wimpy compared to the ones above, but this was my fathers. I grew up with this tractor. He gave it to me last fall. He past away two months later. Miss him!

Great memory to hang on to. My dad gave me one of his old tractors, helped me load it on the trailer the evening of May 20, 1997. The next day I came home to a message on the phone saying he'd passed away a couple hours earlier. ? Best tractor on the page so far. ?
 
How about posting pictures of your tractor with/without your tremor. It was suggested in another thread and someone has got to do it!
Heck it could even be your lawn tractor if you like! No matter the colors or brand!
I have a few but here is my antique!View attachment 1210
Nice, grew up working on my neighbors dairy farm. They had all John Deere tractors. a 520, 4020. 4320. 4240, 4430, 8440, 2840, great equipment. Spent many a day sitting on one of them, nothing runs like a deere!
