I dis-agree with serious farmers never could fool around with older equipment even in the 50's. I bought a new JX95 to replace a Farmall 806D. I've had that tractor back in the shop 4 times in the last year. I have to haul it back to the dealer and they have it 3 to 5 days every time. It has 160 hours on it. I bought the 806 with 9200 hours on it and it never went to the shop in the 5 years I owned it. Never should of got rid of the good tractor. Point is serious farmers fool around with what ever cost's them the least per acre and still gets the job done in a reasonable amount of time. The example of cutting beans is a good one. With the cost of equipment it was cheaper to rebuild a 4630FWA we got rather than buy a new 170hp tractor. Got less than a third of the cost in it and it will run strong for another 30 years. And I'm sure folks on this site have heard me talk about the best tractor in my stable...a 1946 M. I don't think all of the tractors I own combined can catch up to the amount of work that tractor has performed in it's 60 plus years with virtually no repairs. And believe me when I say that tractor earns it's keep on my farm. It has to. I just got an 856D and it will spend lots of time on a baler earning it's keep with I'm sure a low cost per acre doing it. Thats why the older GOOD iron holds it's value. Serious farmers can still get a good days work out of them and not break the bank. I'd rather buy more ground than new equipment. Best Regards

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
