Allan: Yes, that allmighty dollar is what it's all about. I couldn't agree with you more on the merrits of the M. Fact still remains little tractors are just better suited to some jobs. The jobs they do are just as important as the M type jobs.

I can take you back to when I had Farmalls SA, 130, 300, 560D, 656D, 1066 and an articulated Deere. There were always jobs on my farm better suited to the SA and 130. Now we didn't pull a 20' disk, 25' cultivator or forage harvester with them. We did rake one heck of a lot of hay with them.

At 62 I would still like to have a big tractor around, somewhere between a Farmall 656D and a Deere 8640 would make a good size. But what in the name of blazes would I ever do with it. Allan every tractor has it's place. We should never critize the tractors North American farmers bought 250,000 plus copies of, maybe not even 10% of that figure.
