Hi Derek , As a hobby , You could not find a more dependable , uniquly Ugly , And Yet BEAUTIFUL tractor . Here on this farm , Among the lineup , We work a 51 ,52 , and a 54 ,I refer to the DC as The OLD GENTLEMEN. Dad got the 51 back in 68 when I was 11 ,This tractor became My discing ,raking and manure hauler . Tricycle was easy to steer with a steering wheel knob,even backing wagons ,,Dad teased Me and said He thought I was born on the durn thing . Good feed grinding tractor , Some weeks making over 5 ton of hog feed per week ,from 71 til 94 , 16 years ago Dad sold the 51 to me for 4 times what he paid for it and 68. These days I run the nh 489 haybine and like planting with them . DC's are a well balanced Pulling tractor with A very good Governor , Easy on Gas , Even When I am pulling the H*)) out of them all day . The 51 has blessed Us with 4 trophy Wins in the 7000 lbs class .Horsepower is in the Upper 30's ,But There Is a Whole lot more there if You need It ,,, summed up .SIMPLE ,RUGGED ,TOUGH ,DEPENDABLE ,EFFECIENT,, And THEY ARE GOING UP in price ALL THE TIME, best wishes , Jim
