Michael: I said what I think, as I always do. In a public forum and indeed throughout life in these two great countries we live in that is one right we have, "freedom of speech"

I never said don't cut off your axles, you do as you wish, it's your tractor. What I do see however, is no one matters but Michael Sheik. Coming on here and saying you cant see any use for those long axles. Get a life and find out why. I'll almost bet you've never read anyone's thread but your own. This forum is about people, sharing their life experiences, learning why the peanut farmer in Georgia, or the grain farmer in the west, or a vegetale farmer, or a dairy farmer did it differently.

I farmed a lot of years, ran as many as 7 tractors, 4 trucks, 2 skid loaders and a SP Combine at one time. The tractors ranged from a Super A all the way to a 1066, and all of them bought new or very close to it. In my lifetime I've owned 16 Farmalls, 1 Cockshutt, 2 Cases and one Deere. I never bought a new tractor unless it was going to see 800 hours of operation per year. My 1066 crossed the 10,000 hour mark before it was 8 years old.

In the past few years I have operated articulated tractors all the way up to 350 hp. I my opinion articulated is the way to go in anything over 100 hp. I've been saying that since about 1977, two years after I bought my 1066. Back about 5 years ago I went to operate a tractor mounted blueberry harvester, not because it was a big tractor, in fact it was only 60hp. Why, because I wanted to broaden my knowledge.
