Allan: There you go again critizing little tractors. I don't know what we can do with you. I currently have little tractors because that is all I need. I do mow a little grass, till a little garden and plow a little snow. I'm not a city guy, live about as far out in country as you can get. Well that last statment probably not completely true. "as far out in country as you can get", but my daughter does ask how we found a spot in SW Ontario quieter than where we lived in rural Nova Scotia. I and my dad before me farmed for quite a few years.

There however shouldn't be a 06, 56, 66 or 86 series tractor left anywhere. They were only viable at a mimamun of 800 hours per year. You multiply that out by the years they have been arround. Single biggest reason North American farmer was finincially against the wall, too damn much horse power sitting in the yard.
