I have just come to appreciate the machines we have on the farm that are reliable.  They start immediately when asked, required no repairs, minimal maintenance, and do not break down and need replacing.  This is in contrast to our other machines that do these things at the worst possible moments.  The lawn mower, hand held weed whackers, push weed whackers, tractor,  chain saws, shop vacuums, and chipper are some of these beasts.  So here’s to our old reliables (and the companies that make them) that do not get the recognition they deserve:

The quad,

The rototiller (that my grandfather gave me),

and the generator.
