John,Thanks for the ego boost; er ah not crazy for the "txblu" handle. Hear you about the color thing. Bought a jacket at a men's store once. Twas blue and white as your school. Found out when I got home that it was the school jacket for my oldest son's competeting high school. His colors were black and red. Oh well. Whoppin 5000 you built. Wow. Really, I'm a value guy. I buy what looks like a good deal with the amenities that seem right for me. My operation is a hobby and only work 80 acres; part leased. My 4010 is the tugger and does the big work; Added a Kroyker loader last year for settin round bales on 18 wheelers.

The Fords are the errand boys as they are so handy and simple to fix and seem to stay fixed, plus they can be bought at a reasonable rate considering they're popular cause they're handy and parts are readily available. Having a green and blue dealer on the way home from work surely doesn't hurt either......especially when the service manager lets you brouse his $300 service manuals for free. Nice Chat, Later, Mark

The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
