Just thought I'd post a pic of the 8050 getting ready to field cultivate IN FEBRUARY to kill some hen bit. Been putting on anhydrous all week here too. Seems wrong. I painted the dual rims and installed some tires we got from Nevans over the winter. Thanks for looking Leon B MO  ------------- Uncle always said "Fill the back of the shovel and the front will take care of itself". |

Great shot! Thanks for sharing. Seeing that great tractor reminds me....I always love telling those green guys the reason their beloved 90s era 7000 series tractors so closely resemble the Allis 8000 series is because they were designed by ex A-C engineers. If it wasn't for them, they might still have that dumb bubble cab. Lol

I have a 1400 AC chiselvator that would look better behind that Leon 😀 Nice pic. This weather has me on edge. I was glad we got a couple of inches of rain last night. I don't know what l was going to do to keep out of the field. ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |
