I suspect some of the comments about 2+2 tractors come from people who have little experience with them. I've owned a 3588 for over 20 years and it is one of my favorite tractors for tillage and planting. I have mostly John Deere tractors and believe I'm pretty color blind on tractors. The 2+2 will "gallop" on the road unless you adjust the throttle or have something heavy behind it. I've loved plowing, disking, planting and ripping as the footprint and balance of the 2+2 is superior to any non-articulated tractor and it excels in soft ground. You never have to use the brakes to adjust direction of equipment and turns on the headlands is a breeze with no skidding as all four/6/or 8 wheels are pulling you through the turn. The IH 466 is equivalent to my JD 466's in power and fuel efficiency. The downside to 2+2's were weaker drivetrains, especially if you turned up the fuel pumps a lot. Cab, AC and gear shift quadrant were not up JD's standards. The 2+2 is a different kind of tractor that will not appeal to some people but as a "die hard Green guy" I must admit I love my "red hair step-child 2+2. IH had a good start on designing and building some Super 2+2s but the merger killed the development and funding. JMHO

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
