The video below gives a taste of what it was like to start and drive a John Deere GP. The primary difference between this tractor and the Buller GP is that the latter has steel wheels in the irrigation photos, not rubber tires.

Farm life in the 1930s and 1940s
Back in September we saw two photographs related to Grandpa’s early uses of irrigation (see here). At the center of each photo was the family’s John Deere GP (for General Purpose). According to TractorData.com, the GP was manufactured for only eight years, from 1928 to 1935. This two-cylinder, wide-front row-crop tractor sold for $1,200 new in 1935 (for more information and photos, see here).
