Berry: You best check those stats again, Henry's old 8N was actually higher than the H. Now, I'll be the first to agree Henry's stats are not worth much as he was a one model tractor maker back in those days. I always say if your going to compare, then old Henry has to put his lowly 8N up against the entire IH lineup, which by the way would have been 5 times higher than 8N. I know even Deere with those old two bangers had higher production numbers than Henry, looking at total company production. Probably several other companies were outdoing Henry as well.

You shouldn't be taking such great offence to my responces to your posts. I've been around YT close to 8 years now, and will give you a bit of advice. Those who run down other makes of tractors don't tend to stay around YT too long. I farmed for a good many years, probably as many or more acres than you. I bought 16 new or near new Farmalls in that time. I also bought a new Deere, 2 new Case and a used Cockshutt. I used New Holland haying and forage equipment and bought a new Massey Combine. That equipment, doesn't matter what make, it is no damn better than the dealer right in your hometown. He is the guy you deal with, not the manufacturer. In the early days I bought all IH, my dad before me had. Why did I change, that IH dealer began to falter. The Deere, Case and NH equipment all came later. There is no longer a CaseIH dealer in that area.

Of course you should stay around, don't let me turn you off. You do have much to offer. I'll probably continue to be a knuckle head as City Boy Mike calls me, boy will I get him for that one. It may take awhile but he will leave himself vulnerable one of these days. You take Allan in NE for example, he and I have locked horns on numerous ocasions, called each other some quite unflatering adjectives. The next week we were back seeking each others advice. We are never going to all agree, we are individuals. We can all learn from individuals, we would never learn anything if we were all the same.

Oh by the way, I almost forgot, I can spell Rhode Island, Chris just happens to be one of those guys that injects fun into this game.
