In my travels through the prime farm country of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin I will see a lot of red machinery for a while and then a change over to green and then back to red. I would think that is because of dealer support in those areas, but maybe it's just something that happens. Back in the late 30s, when the Fordsons were all wearing out, we saw a lot of green tractors in our neighborhood due to the John Deere dealer's ability to finance those tractors and work out a payment schedule that fit the buyer's operation. Versus the local banks who were notoriously stingy about loaning money to farmers. We, meaning my father and grandfather, always paid cash for equipment, so the finance offer didn't mean much. We usually looked at price, and what the machine could do for us. Back then, there really wasn't a bad tractor around and some brands made a better planter or hayloader, etc., than other brands. I still do that. I pay cash for everything although once in a while it pays to sign up for financing. When I bought my new John Deere tractor the dealer told me he had given me the best possible price but if I signed up for John Deere financing I would get $4000 cash back from John Deere. I signed up and then paid the loan off as soon as the paperwork went through. When I bought a new corn planter it was based on price. John Deere vs Kinze. Same planter. Kinze pay now and get the planter 9 months later or John Deere, order now, pay for it when it comes in and $4000 cheaper to boot. A no-brainer.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
