Each model has its supporters and detractors. We have gotten along great with our JD 4010 diesel. A lot of 3020's were sold around here and most of them were hung on to. The 3010/ 3020 motors were designed the way they were to take advantage of the economies of using tooling and hardware to build the six cylinder engines. Deere took too long to purge the horizontal 2 cylinder engines but each company can write a thick chapter as to what should have been done different. The Olivers as a line were fine tractors. Lately, I've been hankering for a 770 and a 880. Oliver's biggest problem was it was late to the full line concept and when tractor sales were strong in the 1970's they did not have a direct answer to the IH 1066/ 1466 and JD 4430/ 4630. I like the IH gas start diesels. I don't look at the 460/ 560 tractors as being terrible but IH's competitors put products on the market that were simply ahead of those two tractors. It happens. Ford might have still been selling tractors and implements today if Ford Motor had a different attitude toward agriculture. The focus at various times was too narrow and they missed the motion of the market. The 4020 and 806 were well entrenched while the Ford management was scratching their heads before the 8000 came out in 1968. I could go one but I will not. I guess whether I like a given tractor or not does not matter in the end. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If somebody's father or grandfather made a living and provided for his a family with a tractor successfully then I can not argue with that person because I dislike that particular model.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
