Yes, I am daydreaming again. I've got two D17s and a Ford 5000 tractor. I am making small square bales, but sometime in the future I think that I will be wanting to make round bales on shares and selling my portion of the hay, or something along those lines. I know that there are some round balers which I could use with the 5000, though it might be marginal on some of our Ozark hills. Sooooo, what I am wondering about is a bigger tractor capable of running round balers including newer balers which can netwrap bales. What I am mostly looking for is value for my money. Probably this means an open station tractor and an older baler which could be upgraded later as more money becomes available. Okay, okay. I will also admit to a bit of desire for just a bigger tractor. The timeline on this type of purchase is 12 months to 12 years or more. The budget is as small as reasonable. I definitely lean toward Allis Chalmers. An older friend of mine in MN used AC tractors, so I got used to them and since I respect him, I guess he had good reasons. So, any suggestions about models to look for? 185 or 190? What horsepower range offers the best value? What kind of price range to look at for 75-110HP diesel, with or without loader? Thanks for any tips. Christopher

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
