Works as good as it looks, lol.
Is it for sale? I thought those 4WDs only existed in brochures. VERY NICE. I would love to have one of those.

That is a real beauty - an IH584 4wd. I wonder what it says on the loader cross support ???-O-Matic??
I can see how that makes sense, but for my own tractors things aren't quite so black and white.
New models do have some advantages as well as disadvantages. So I try to weigh one against the other.
One big factor in having a choice is being able to to do your own own mechanical work. Some of us even enjoying doing some mechanical work. Old tractors are way ahead in that arena.
As I see it, their older simpler design means more reliable as well as less expensive to buy and upkeep.
But I've got a buddy who wouldn't know which wrench to use to open a beer. For him, a warranty is really important. - where for others a warranty doesn't mean so much.
I'm guessing that most guys who like older machinery have a selection of tools and the knowledge to use them. That's a big advantage. Huge advantage.

I could never sell the 584,, it was a "Buy of a Lifetime" ,, the son-in-laws can decide what happens to it,,,
That is usually used for sand and/or salt in the winter and pelletized or granular fertilizer in the summer.What is it? How does it work? It kinda looks like it might be for throwing fertilizer or fine mulch. I could use that capability, but have never seen such a thing.
Understand...... how much do they want for it?
That tractor should be on a calendar picture. :thumbsup:
Very nice tractor! When a tractor was a tractor.
