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 - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father ... [Read Article]
