Quote: CVPost-ss55 (quoted from post at 10:56:37 02/06/23) I thinking a return to normal prices like $3.50 corn and $7.00 soybeans for a few years would take much of the steam out of the over 30 years old hobby tractor market.
I've never understood this attitude. "The farmer must suffer." Just because they always have does not mean they always have to, or even should suffer.
$3.50 corn and $7.00 beans would kill a lot of farmers, even those that socked away the money from high commodity prices and didn't go out and spend it on new equipment.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
