Jon: As I said earlier a nice tractor to operate, as are new CaseIH, Ford NH, and Kubota. I haven't driven the rest. None of these tractors smoke but none of them have staying or lugging power either. You put an old Farmall or Deere from the 60s and 70's beside them and you will see real power, and steady power.

Another thing that annoys me very much on these new tractors is they litter the inside of cab with all thes do's and dont's that look so damn hiddious. Most of this this is plain common sence stuff. In my day, guys that stupid could never afford a tractor and employers were smart enough to never allow them on one. And yet they will use a symbol so small that a 62 year old guy has to get out his reading glasses to see if pto is engaged. Lights are another good one.

It is so obvious the legal profession takes a large chunk out of the cost of a new tractor. My dad used to say in the 1960s," Its no wonder the poor old cow has tears running down her cheaks, as she looks around the farm and sees what she is expected to pay for." I guess that must be the reason why there is no money in livestock farming anymore. Ever since the legal profession saw it as a cash grab, the poor old cow cried her heart out.
