Allan: Don't accuse me, while I agree you should tuck that 64+ year old carcass in out of the ellements, this is 2006. Just take a little drive, find some farmer using a 300+ hp articulated. Talk him into letting you use it for 8, 10 or even 16 hours. then you'll go back home, buy up half of western Nebraska, buy two big articulateds. I'll even drive down and operate the second one free of charge for the first planting season.

You just wouldn't believe the comforts of these big tractors; they are smooth, they are agile. I had driven articulateds before as I had that little 100 hp Deere forestry skidder. This spring I was passed the keys to one of these 300+hp jobs with 20.8x42 duals all way around. One of the first things I did was pull a 10 yard scrapper or pan (earth movers) We were hauling soil in between a berm and a stream 30' in width between the two. Those big tractor would U turn in there without backing, and do it at 4.5 mph without jumping on a brake pedal. I thought to myself, a 1066 wouldn't do that. Oh, yes it would if you pull back TA and jump on a brake, half throwing my old carcass up against the seat side, but these big babies did that with not so much as a jolt to the body.

You are older now than when you last farmed. At your age you should be looking at your comfort. We have a local commedian, has a list of all the comforts one must look at after 60. He claims one should approach everything with comfort in mind; your bank account, your car, you furniture, etc., etc., even a romp with the missus, comfort becomes more important than passion.
