DK: You should have kept the old tractors. I farmed for years, nothing newer than a 66 series, probably clocked up 100,000 hours on 20 tractors. 60,000 of those hours went on 4 - 6 cylinder diesels. I was never without a main power horse in a busy season.
You think about it, there are hundreds of farmers with tractors built since 1980 that have been without a main power supply tractor during a harvest or planting season.
I posted on here about 6 years ago about a dead Deere. 350 horsepower with a 46' cultivator parked diagnol in the middle of a field for 48 hours with cultivator wings spread. They brought another machine in, tilled around it, planted around it. two days later there was a guy with a 60 hp tractor tilling then a 4 row planter, patching the gap. He had close to 5 acres to do.
Friend on mine had a CaseIH Magnium. Of his power shift speeds, it wouldn't go into the one used most on his forage harvester. CaseIH sent out a 6 million dollar man, they worked on it for two days. Finally it started working, but they have no idea what fixed it. Two days later it started doing it again. 12 months later there was a Deere on his forage harvester.
I could go on and on all night with stories I've heard. Progress is a wonderful thing.
