Being a red and meadow green operator all of my life, standing back and watching the dark green go down hill over the years was kind of saddening. I ran a S88 as a kid, and thought it was a heck of a good machine. Enough so that I bought a 2-70 at an auction a couple of years ago just to play with. My impression of the current White Agco isn't really bad, but it is tempered by a neighbor of mine who has a couple. My main impression is that Agco was early on a European design- which I have less use for than the American products- stuffed into package that is colored to get buyers depending on which engine they want. They all seem like the same from the clutch back, with a Perkins under the red hood, an Allis under the AGCO hood and a Cummins under the silver White hood. Just a different paint job. And I am not impressed with the Euro engineered green and blue stuff, either. I still look for a -40 series JD or a 56-66 series cornbinder for horsepower in the field. While they're nice to drive, the controls are all over and made for morons and designed by idiots. These newer tractors just aren't easy to work on and seem to be a play by the larger manufacturers to rip off the farmer by making them put the machine into the shop every time it has a hiccup or gets a boo boo. But, I guess my tool box just isn't big enough to hold more than a crescent hammer and a screwdriver, some baling wire and a pack of bubbley gum.....
