Kind of a perspective thing. My 7110 Magnum is close to 25 yrs old and 9000hrs.
My 806 is in its work cloths and gets used all summer and fall on the farm. I have my grandpas R Moline that he bought new. I have a hard time finding anything for it to do.
Its sad because that tractor is in good original shape, and I think its going to heck faster because the lack of use. I have good intentions to drag out my 640 rake and rake hay with it, but when the hours in a day get short, I always grab the 806 and the much bigger V rake.
