About a year and a half back, I bought a new Dodge 2500 HD with Cummins diesel/6 speed, 4WD, 4 door, power everything, towing package, and all the other ect.'s.... My son bought one almost identical, except his is a gasser (hemi/auto) 6 months later, he got a company truck. ('05 Dodge 3500 diesel) Then my wifes car got wiped out in a wreck. We bought Jasons truck from him for the Mrs. to drive. Both trucks are loaded. Before that, I always bought the plainest, cheapest truck I could find. I wouldn't trade backwards for love, nor money! I average around 55,000 miles per year on my truck. I spend a LOT of time in it. WHY NOT HAVE A NICE ONE? I use mine as a truck. It drags around a 25' gooseneck, with a usual load of about 10,000LBS. Nothing like having a COMFORTABLE ride that'll do what a truck should do. We take trips in the winter. A couple of the grandkids usually go along. The bigger cab is nice to say the least. If I didn't have the 4 door cab, I'd need a car to go along with the truck. How would that be any cheaper? All in all, I'm pleased. I don't expect EVERYONE to run out and buy a $45,000 "cowboy cadillac", but I plan on buying ANOTHER someday when this one is tired and ready to be put out to pasture.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
