LOL my BP ain't going up over this.
Oh I know about the new rear engine one. Seen pictures. Have no idea where a dealer is. Guess they would be OK for a garden. Not a bad design but something that never really caught on. Still wasn't/isn't highly sought after except the older ones as collectors. I didn't know that JD made one. Looked on line and can't find a JD one. Must have been even less popular than the G. I've never seen one. A company called Grand Haven built one starting in 46 or 47. When I first saw a G I thought it was a cool design but aimed directly for the area I saw it. Ky tobacco area. Good idea for 10 or so acres. Wouldn't want to try cultivating 100 acres of corn with it. There is a reason they sold so few.
I've never run a Roto Baler. Never had a desire to. Can't even think of a reason I would want to. I'll stick with stackable small idiot cubes and big rounds.
I have run a snow blower behind a 190XT with the POS power director. Gotta stop the tractor, and wait till the blower picks up/clears and then clutch and shift to keep from tearing up and under built tranny. It takes 10 minutes less time to blow my drive than my best time with the 190XT now that I'm running a tractor with an IPTO. I can clutch, hit the 3 point control then shift and the blower can clear as I'm moving forward if needed. Saves a load of time. OH, did I mention that the 1206 is older than my 190XT was? And has IPTO? I've yet to plug the blower with the IPTO when stopping and changing dorection. If I wasn't careful the 190XT was easy to plug the blower on, all you have to do is clutch a moment too soon. Kinda makes me laugh that both IH and AC failed. IH because of bad management and an ill timed strike, AC tractors because AC just threw in the towel on their AG division. And now AGCO even got rid of the orange paint.
I know the only way another AC tractor will even be on my place is if someone gives one to me and then only long enough for me to call the scrapper and have it hauled off.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
