Ya Allan, you got a boatload of money in those thirty year old tractors, but they're now brand new with the work you've had done to them. And where else could you get a 100 hp tractor, WITH a bit of nostalgia, for about $14,000.00. I'll guarantee you'd spend twice that for a new plastic tractor with about 14 miles of wiring to and from the stupid computer. That's like me and my 806/M's. Sure I put about $4000.00 in them with all the add-ons, but I have a 60 something year old tractor with live power, three point, wide front, power steering, and an old tractor to boot, and about half what a modern space capsule with big wheels would be. I'll stick to the old ones. I can work on them without having to go back to electronics school to change the ampacity on the tri-directional voltage ampisitor to the diodes that run the ground sensors for the terrain reading modems mounted in the rear cabin of the vehicle. Git-er-done, Harley
