early vs. late........I suppose it's what you're used to. We (my Dad, actually) bought a new one in '65 and another in '67. I've still got both of 'em. Nearly all the early ones......around here, anyway......only had one hydraulic circuit. At that time, we didn't need the additional one(s). There's no telling how many thousands of hours I've spent sitting half-crossways in the seat watching a hay baler, silage cutter, 5 (and also 6, at times) bottom plow, planter, mower and all the other tasks we used them for. I'll choose the convenience of the dash-mounted lever every time; your left hand just falls to it naturally. I've also got 2 more of the things (4020s) and one of them is late model. For loader work, the side levers work better........for me. PTO clutch.....the early ones were bullet proof; all mechanical. As far as the 12v vs. the 24; I guess it just depends on whether you understand...... or care to learn....... how they work. I don't go to the dealer much anymore since I no longer farm but I was always vastly amused when I'd step up to counter and ask for a part and the parts guy would ask, "Early or late model"? Invariably there'd be some yuppie type waiting and you could see the wheels turning thinking, "Late model 4020; I thought they quit making those 40 years ago."

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
