This modest tractor has been in use for decades out on Bear Island in Penobscot Bay, Maine. It's a beautiful machine. 70-200/2.8L IS II on a 1D4. 200mm: f/5.6; 1/800; ISO 640.

Cool shots, during high school I worked at a cemetery and I drove the same tractor with the same trailer. Brings back some good memories haha

I did a quick google search and the first I found was that they were manufactured in the early 1980's

Thanks. Not quite as old as I thought. But still a quarter century I guess. It really is a cool piece of machinery. And life on that island isn't easy, I'm sure.
