Some pics from the local county fair.

"Woodcutters! Sit back in comfort and watch the wood almost cut itself!"

"For you lovers of John Deere--At this price they're going fast. Don't miss out! First ten buyers we'll throw in a free air freshener!"

Hmm....$8.44 per pound. For me, that Comfortview Cab tractor is fillet mignon taste on a ground round budget.

New tractors don?t come cheap, I?ll bet that M7
Kubota beside the JD carries a similar price tag.
Limbs of makes you feel weak in the knees just

I'll betcha these same words were spoken in
the neighborhood 65 years ago when one of
the neighbors bought a new MD or better yet
a new MDTA. I can hear the words now;
"yabut, that Two speed shift on the go
transmission will cost more to repair and
the engine is so complicated he won't be
able to repair it himself". Another
neighbor buys a new Deere 70 diesel. Once
again "yabut, it's economical but you have
to start that little engine first. Just
wait till that little enge gets some hours
on it and needs repair".

Today's tractors are much more complicated
and trouble prone than the old ones but the
dialect about them hasn't changed.

I paid $22,900 for my 4040 when I bought it new in February of 81.

The lease is up in the spring on a 165 hp NH we
have. The buy price on one similar now is 50%
higher than it was on this one here was 4 yrs ago.

KCM....hahaha good one! This made me figure my cost per pound for my Massey F40 with loader back when I purchased.

Comes in at a whopping 39 cents/LB LOL.

(quoted from post at 09:37:04 08/14/18) I paid $22,900 for my 4040 when I bought it new in February of 81.

When I bought the 1086 in January of 78, when farm commodity prices were really a roarin the list price was a little over $32,000. A 4440 was a couple hundred more. We all know about list price manipulation though. I wanted the 4440 so bad I could taste it but no Deere dealer wanted the 1800 hour 1070 Case I had to trade in. In fact one dealer flat out told me he didn’t want my Case. So in the end, for $4000 less I owned a 1086.
