So me and Mopower were talking about our "perfect farm idea" With MM's would be. Mine is as follows.
It's November 1967, I have my new 67 670D super with a heat houser hooked to the newer Farmhand Grinder mixer, an RTU hooked to a wagon, and I'm shoveling the ear corn into the mixer. In the background you can see a beautiful Chevy Apache truck. The dog is playing with our herd of 20 cows that we milk and there are a few chickens pecking at the kernels of corn on the ground. There is a little snow in the air but not enough to do any harm. You can see a 4 star and ZB in the barn and the MM dealer rep is standing by the 670 checking it out, making sure we are happy with our new purchase. My wife and little girl and standing by the wagon with coffee for the MM rep and myself I stop to take a break and you can just see the back of the brown mule unit, next to the monitor grain drill in the lean-too attached to the barn. We no longer have the M5 as it was traded in on the 670, and the MM dealer has been trying to get us to demo a U302 super diesel. We grain farm about 85 acres with the MM's and have been talking about buying another 15 acres if we decide to purchase another tractor (per the MM dealer getting us to demo the U302).
This is my idea of my perfect farm, to bad all the BTO's are totally ruining the small "family farm" along with the fact of dealers pushing to sell new bigger equipment and slashing support for the older models. Farming is sadly progressing towards a career, or a business rather than a sweaty, back breaking way of life that so many have enjoyed.
