I farm about a 1000 acres in S.E. SD and my newest piece of equipment is my 1973 JD 7520. I feed 180 head of cows and 150 head of feeder calves with a modified 52JD A with a 345 Dual loader and a WD Allis Chalmers pulling a recently rebuilt 112 JD chuckwagon. I have a 1950 JD R diesel that gets as many hours on it as my 4020. It does everything from hauling manure to disking to pulling the corn picker ing the fall. the best part is when its cold out, the R starts better than the 4020. My WD ACs get about a 1000 hours a year and very seldom need any attention. If I do have major problems or one gets wore out, I just go buy another one because its cheaper than buying parts. Last fall I purchased a 1937 D7 Cat for a song that need some work. after about $1500 parts I found my self looking for a blade so that i could use it. Now with the wet weather, it has been going nearly every day pulling my neighbors out of the mud. The only problem is that I need to stop what I am doing to start it for them. I am a firm believer in using old equipment and it will last as long as you take good care of it.
