Just set down and put a pencel to it for a bit , You can get a good one for around 6500 a good 6 bottom drag plow if ya want since your ground is tough plowen it will handel 7 in most or a 13 shank disc chiesel and a 24 foot wing disc that is three times as heavy as the one you have now and cover twice the ground with just a bit more fuel but it will get the job done in two passes verses four and it will use less fuel thru it then spending time with the 966 the 966 would be my chore tractor and since you still work a job and time on the farm is stress management but when your fighten tought ground with a tractor to small there is more stress . When i was hobby farmen and running around 4 countys fixen tractors and tryen to farm in the evenings some nights i would get two hours in and some nites i would get 6 hours in and i would bust my rear end for a week tryen to get 70 acres plowed with my old 706 and 4 bottoms well by the time i got to the farm fueled the tractor checked oil greased everything get in the field and yea it would usualy roll along in 4th low in sod and 1st high in corn ground if the weather was good to me it took a week to plow then two and ahalf days disken and three days planting by myself . One year while at a sale there was and 1805 massey that was not to bad just dead batterys and bad alt and NO BRAKES well the devil made me do it he shoved my hand in the air and the auctioneer said SOLD well getting it home was a littel expencive but it got here and i fixed it in a day the next weekend my buddy and i went to another sale and i end up with a Mf 880 7x18 auto reset for now get this 200 bucks and it needed 50 bucks worth of parts now it is fixed and hooked to the 1805 and it was time to plow well my BIG field was just a wisker over 10 acres and the smallest was 3.2 i hit the fiels at around 5 PM and was at the house at a littel after 11 PM and the wife asked me if i was going to plow the next night i said no she asked why i told her that i was done then i barrowed a 24 foot wing disk with hdy. fold and did it all in a evening and instead of the usual three times over with the big Keewanne it was somuch better then my 370 with the new 20 inch blade as this thing had 24 inch blades on 7 inch verses my 9 and it had a 3 bar harrow it took me longer to plant with my 4 row then it did on the tillage and i used a bunch less fuel . then like alway some guy just could not live with out it and he bought it and he farms a total of 50 acres less then i did he farms 165 acres and when i have time i go up to see Larry and we sit and B S and he tell me how his neighbor laugh at him about the Massey and he says let them laugh i am done and on the pourch while they are still tryen to get done.The fuel tank on the massey held 220 gal and i filled it and after going over the 70 acres with the plow and over it with the disc. i still had a half tank. Oh yea that 3208 Kitty sure sounded good down in the valley worken.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo ... [Read Article]
