I've got to differ with you slightly on getting rid of three or four to get one. Without knowing the young man's specifics a lot of smaller dairies still make their own silage. Quite a few still blow silage into uprights. The 8430 probably sits during this time so one tractor goes on the chopper, one cuts hay, one pulls wagons, and one sits on the blower. Most of the weakness in 2840's and 2940's are in the transmission and the hydraulics so either of the two could sit on the blower. The 8430 is alright for doing tillage and pulling a manure tanker. What he has is not glamorous but to our knowledge works. If the farm is not tracking repairs by individual tractor it should be as JA suggested. As I hinted at there maybe other uses for any spare cash that would make for a better return. If need be he could work with a local banker or extension specialist to come up with a priority list of investments with the best return down to the ones with the least return. It may surprise him. It is also not to early about transfer of the business and the money needed for that when the time comes.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
