Oh yeah, speaking of the green, what we have pulling the bale processor now is a JD 7600(I know the number 'cause I just spent half the day in it). Not sure on HP but it's probably 180 or so.....kinda overkill in my opinion, but I don't buy 'em, just run 'em. It never even flinches running those bales through, but still...
Reason I'm looking is that I'm wanting to move to a neighboring place we bought and get my own feeding equipment to have there...and naturally only Red will do for me. Don't want or need overkill, but don't want more than I need either. And DON'T want something so new I have to pay a JD service truck to drive clear out here every time it needs work. Dad seems to think I HAVE to have a four-wheel-drive, but he seems to forget how we used to feed those 6-ton stacks with an 886 two wheel drive(and the 656 gasser before that...and a 560 before that...and a WD-9 before that, etc etc), back when we used to get REAL snow in the winters. My main reason for shying away from anything older and Red with a 4wd is that from all I've read on here, those old Coleman and Elwood 4wd systems are prone to wear out, especially under a loader carrying two big round bales in the grapple fork, and really pricy to get parts for. Anyway, I have a few more options to look at, and no big hurry, so I'll just keep my eyes open and go from there. Thanks guys!

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
