In this special story, two generations of farmers come together over a John Deere 4230 tractor that’s been part of their family history for 50 years. Dale and Daryl Miller share how their family bought the tractor new in 1975, traded it in years later, and eventually lost track of it—until a chance connection through social media brought the machine’s history full circle.
