I have no problem with a tractor if a given tractor has worked out quite well for a given farmer. Most people on this board are pretty open-minded about any given tractor regardless of the color they prefer. But, the obnoxious talk I have heard over the years outside of here has left me cold towards them even though I have an 860. Most of it comes from city types that think farming should revert back to what it was after WW II. I argued one time at length (very heated) with a fellow I knew at college that thought Ford was the only farmer-friendly company and that IH and JD were very sinister for offering large tractors (I was wearing my JD cap at the time, he started it) Used to have a lady customer (well to do) that came into a store that felt very threatened socially by modern agriculture. She did not like the idea of anybody measuring up to her wealth never mind somebody from the working class. Talked to people that knew her and they said she would like to see the clock set back again a few generations in agriculture. She set the example on her little hobby operation by making sure she had a 9N and 8N. Word was she had a fit one time because her husband did not want to put on overalls to walk to the barn just to check a latch. Just as it is with me that I suspect that it is some of the more extreme boosters of the N series that irritate people more than the tractor itself. And as has been stated in another recent post that the sales figures do not tell the full story. In any event I respect yours and your dad's success with that tractor. In the end the satisfaction of each owner is what ultimately matters.
