My wife's grandfather used one to farm near Vleats, KS. Her Dad bought it when his parents retired and moved to town. He used it for his "hobby" farm until he passed. The tractor sat in the barn unused for about 20 years and about three years ago, my Dad helped me get it running again. I don't really "use" it, but occasionally I start it up and drive it around. I'll hook up the trailer and give my nieces and nephews a ride once in a while. I've not read anything particularly good about them. From what I've read, parts are expensive and they are quite difficult to work on. Apparently, "If you got a bad one, you couldn't fix it, and if you got a good one, you couldn't break it." For me, its just nice to keep something of my wife's family farm tradition up and running. Most of the men from her side of the family have already passed on. I like to think it means something to someone to keep that history alive, even if I am the only someone. There is a JD B sitting in the same barn that I haven't had time to get running yet, but it is on the list! 1963 JD 2010 w/narrow front. [/img]
