Took the scenic route from the farm to my cousins house today. Ran across this scene. They were using the 4w305 some years back, haven't seen it for quite awhile. Thought the 8550 replaced it. Anyway, kind of neat to see them together.  |

Not only would it be cool to have those 2 orange horses, it would be even cooler to own the land. How I dream to have a large farm....not in my future unless I win the lottery. Oh that’s right, you gotta play to win. Gotcha Great to see them still active Mike. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Not sure. I just stopped on the road and shot a quick phone pic out the window. There were other guys/equipment there, not sure what they were doing. They use those tractors to knife in hog manure. Was surprised to see them down here, they are usually 15-20 miles North. The owner may have a hog operation close to here I wasn't aware of.
