I guess I fit the small farm category you described .Farm around 300 acres milk 50-60 cows. This year I bought a new Kubota 135 with loader. Last year I bought a new CaseIH silage special baler. The dealership I have delt with for the past 30+ years was IH, then CaseIH and now is Kubota. Many folks on this forum use their tractors to make some hay move some snow ,bush hog and the like. I do everything from plant grain , corn, hay, all the way through to harvest, chopping corn and hay, and making big round bales. While I have about 7 tractors, I spend many hours Case 930 or 1030 doing light jobs, like spreading manure cutting hay wrapping bales , where they work just as well now as they did back in the 60's. But when it comes to loader work I need the size and power of a newer4w4 tractor.I spend a lot of time on a tractor and a nice cab and a smooth ride make for a nice job on a hotter than h@ll or cold windy day. I really don't see much in any of the new tractors that where the same in the old tractors other than the names and colours. I don't think that new tractors will last as many years as the old tractors did because the farmers that buy them now work the h@ll out of them in the first 10 years , and they cost more to fix than they are worth compared to the next new tractor. And just like myself, no one wants a tractor that is having a sick day when you need it.Bruce

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
