Burrhead- we both know that yuppies don't farm, mostly what they do is play with their new toy. As far as all the bells buttons and bows on tractors, I've seen many a big spread farmer with tractors with a/c , heat,power steering and stereos in enclosed cabs. Machines costing $50000to $100000 are not unusual and I wouldn't call any of the boys in Indiana, Kansas or Iowa, Yuppies. As far as a front loader is concerned, no way you have to move coal or limestone to have it pay off.
A front loader is invaluable and makes the tractor super versitile, even if you just use it to load welders and such into a pickup. If I had only one tractor it would have a loader, powersteering cause with a load in the bucket you ain't gonna have such a good time steering without it and I sure as heck wouldn't be without 4wd. The increase in traction is something to behold. The man,Steve doesn't want a row crop tractor just to take out when the crop has to be worked. He wants a all around machine. A well built compact or utility from one the 3 majors, JD Kubota or Ford/New Holland will run for years and require nothing but general maintenance. Oh,yeh, yuppies ain't my favorite people but anyone liking tractors can't be all bad. {incidently, do you make your living farming?} bo

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
