M.D. Holloway 03-02-2010 07:02 PM

Yup - Case IH

100 Combines X $300,000/Combine = a buncha money...

For sure...not too many Farmers are impressed with $100,000 cars. They prefer much more expensive machinery.

Saw the first picture last fall, but then it was titled "Saskatchewan fans on the way to the Grey Cup"

And yes you pay a lot for that green paint. :)

Yup, Case IH red, John Deere Green, Caterpillar Yellow, and a few Silver Gleaners....

If you squint a little, photo #1 cropped to remove the highway at the bottom looks like day one of the first Iraq war tank battles.. (you know, really squint);)

Nothing runs like a Deere. I sent this to my farmer B.I.L. he hates green. I'm the rebel here as I drive a Dodge truck, not a Ford truck, and I have a green tractor. I rub his nose in it every chance I get. All in fun of course.

Growing up on a farm, the people who hated JD's were the ones who couldn't afford them.

And....... the genetically-engineered grain contained little or no nutritional value.

-Like Nestle formula in a baby bottle, the consumer ate and ate and ate but couldn't get anything out valuable of the meal other than calories, which only made him fat.

-Meanwhile, the lack of needed nutrients eventually caused organ and other bodily problems-which required the consumer(now labeled patient) to exit the labor-pool and seek unavailable treatment.

Eat those dollars up kids, they are the best food available.

I don't know if you're serious or being sarcastic.

We had Deeres on our farm. All B series tractors (B, 50, 520). I liked them. The 50 was "my" tractor. Then I worked for a farmer with a Farmall M and I thought that was the tits until he bought a JD 3020. I spent many many hours on that thing. It really sold me on John Deere.

First tractor experience was a Farmall H....but loved the JD's later on

targa911S 03-03-2010 08:56 AM

I'd like an old B myself, but it's way too much tractor for what I need. An M would be nice but for now my 330D is just fine.

Nobody I know got their combine free from the gubbment. They pay by the acre to have it done. Small farmers just can't pay that much for big equipment.
