I had 20 acres left when the engine went on the 8430. It had literally one day left on the rebuild warranty. That was one mad dealership.
I had a minimum till 455 drill so I scraped the disk across the last part of the field and drilled it. It's the only time that 4440 has ever run hot, and man she did.
