Congratulations But I think everybody been telling you backwards.
 Now you have to worry about keeping the hogs feed, so the lids are banging away. Then regulating the machine so you have the pretty just right. So you have lots of water in the ground for your corn, but not so much the new tractor sinks.Keep that machine just blackmail the poor guy you buy the tractor from. Good deal or is in the dark covered in pretty all winter.On second thought , any non green farms you can rent it to? Load the old l.....................loving wife and dogs and put that new to you diesel truck to work with the camper. Come over this way
push some buttons or what ever the kids do and roll black smoke out that thing. Just make sure you got a big tank so got fuel to get out of here. |

I don't know if i'll replace the grassed waterways that the big green farmers tore out, and also a dam they tore out. will hafta prolly plow the corners they couldn't farm. guess they don't know what one of them hyd levers do in their cabs! i'll know more after the crop is out as to what kinda shape the ground is in. most any rows that had a curve in it, they just ran it down, the crop never made it into the combine. must be straight line farmers only. niether I nor them will hafta worry about it from now on, they won't be on this farm again.

CONGRATS on your purchase! Not sure this is a good time to start farming again due to the high cost of the inputs.

I, for one, recommend an old articulated tractor like the Steigers or Versatiles. Easier to work on than a fixed frame MFWD from my experience. And if you have a pull type planter they are great…never run out of power or traction, and you don’t have to bulb your turns at the end.

| Lars....I don't think i've ever seen a WD45 with air conditioning! shucks after the stockholder screwed me outta most of the farm in earlier years that left me with about 73 acres left to farm, i went and bought a 7080 and a big disk, didn't take me long to til it, and I had fun. no longer have the engine for the 7080, but still have a big disk i can't pull with the 7010. i've always wanted an articulated 4x4 tractor...now is the time i think! lol |

The worst days I’ve ever spent farming were in a cabbed tractor with no air conditioning in summer. Wind was nearly non existent, dirt was dry, disc was making a huge dust cloud around the tractor.
