Wish I still had em | Back in April of '71 I was a Sophmore in high school and I bought my first real tractor. It was a '59 JD 730 Diesel. It was a nice tractor, and I thought it was great owning such a nice tractor while still in school. In June of '73 I had just graduated and rented 360 acres of farm ground. I was at the local JD store picking up parts for the JD G that I had bought in the fall of '71, and I saw a new JD 4320, it was a '72 but it had sat on the lot for a year. I went out and looked at it, neat tractor, and it only had 6 hours on it. I bought it and farmed with it for 3 years, then I saw a 4620 for sale at the same dealer with only 600 hours on it (also '72 model) and I traded the G in on a partial trade for it. I farmed with the 730, 4320 and 4620 until '81 when I traded in the 4620 on a 4640 since I was now farming 700 acres. I had the 4320 until '91 when I traded it for a 4555. Today I farm 1200 acres and farm with that 730D, a 720D, a '71 4520, '72 4020, the '81 4640, an the '91 4555. I do still miss the 4320 and the 4620 and the G and wish I had them back.

It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
