Did I start a color war?

yee haw!





Let's look at a common billhook. I replace those quite often on all makes and models.

JD 336 billhook Part # E32458 Price $79.81

27 Models using this part:

336, 346, 466, 327, 337, 347, 467, 224T, 224WS, 456, 456T/WS, 466, 466T/WS, 342, 342T/WS, 332, 332AT, 336AT, 336AWS 342AT, 342AWS 456A, 456AT, 456AWS,466A, 466AT, 466AWS.



NH 311 billhook Part # 717011 Price $79.00

38 Models using this part:

68, 273, 166, 310, 1426, S67, 272, 283, 277, 320, 78, 270, 276, S68, 65, 500, 286, 275, 420, 178, 315, 268, 1281, S78, 285, 1283, 1282, 326, S66, 271, 278, 1425, 290, S69, 430, 1280, 311, 269

Very similar... In fact, you could say that it is almost a dead tie between them. (no pun intended... ok I lied... pun intended!)

Now, let's look at a needle for each-

JD 336 needle Part #AFH202537 Price $136.49

8 Models using this part:

327, 328, 336S, 337, 338, 346, 347, 348



NH 311 needle Part # 851461 Price $107.85

20 models using this part:

68, 273, 310, S67, 272, 277, 320, 270, 276, 316, S68, 275, 315, 268, 326, 271, 278, S69, 311, 269





Now, which one do you think will be NLS first?

I'd go with the one that only services 8 models. Chances are someone will make them aftermarket, or already has started, but, I would bet that the baler that has less parts compatibility with the rest, will have more parts NLS. What if you owna JD baler that is not in the list with those 8? Will it be a 1 of 1 for the needle? Then what do you do? I already went through this with a 1970's built Ford baler (New Idea baler)

As to what I think of other John Deere haytools... I like some of them, and have even been to the factory where they are built...

I believe it was in...

NEW HOLLAND, PA

At a certain point, the line splits, and some get painted green, some get painted red. Same thing applied for John Deere Skidsteer loaders. They were built in Belleville, PA.

I just personally, will always, no matter what, be disgusted by John Deere. They are like the Cleveland Browns to me. Just a foe. I can't tell you why. Everytime I look at something green it just makes me sick adn I feel like I have to spit on it.





I do, however, own a JD 7000 max emerge planter, a JD 650H dozer, and a JD 6620 SH Titan II. What do I think of those machines? It's really hard to say honestly, because I find it very uncomfortable and hard to use any of them, when I have to wear this paper bag over my head. I'm sure you understand.
