Al: You got that right on, those old Deeres and Farmalls are going to look rather attractive. I am quite tall (6'2") and probably a bit heavier than I should be. I have operated quite a variety of newer tractors since 1990. I have yet to fnd a tractor anymore comfortable to operate for a long day than 56 and 66 Farmalls. The one tractor that comes close in my opinion is the over 70 hp Kubotas.

I would like to see a lot more articulated tractors. I know they have never been great on pto work, but that one seems to be disappearing with more and more self propelled harvesting equipment. I have operated a few of these, and I rather like them for heavy work. I think the industry should build a 125 hp articulated. I always said the one item I would have had different on my 1066 was 4x4. I added duals at end of year one and in my opinion the duals while adding greatly to stability, traction and floatation, they also beat the crap out of the wide front. I think 4x4 would have helped. I also know from my exposure to forestry equipment, articulated equipment much more economical to maintain, than steering front ends.
