All choked up

As I was out feeding the horses tonight, I was looking at my 1710 and thinking, what a great buddy it has been. For 16 years it has taken care of just about everything it could around the place and hasn't complained a bit. As I have had many toys, it has always been my favorite, even with the new arival of the JD 2520 (which is a lot of fun), old blue is still there for me and ready at a moments notice. What a great friend and companion. I hope that 16 years from now he will still be willing and able. I hope you all have the same connection with your toys and take good care of them. Merry Christmas! Have a safe 2012. Ken

After having such good luck with your 1710 why did you go green.

My 1910 (Big blue) is over 30 and has always been there with very few problems.

I like the variety of colors.

It gives a person a good feeling when their equipment has been dependable for a long time.:tractor:

Heck, I had a Farmall A for a while just because I was a Sammy Hagar fan. Red, Red, we want Red!

I have an old blue Ford that holds a special place in my heart. The only difference is mine is a 93 Ford truck. She lives a semi retired life as a hunting/play truck since I bought a new truck in 09. Nothing wrong with keeping an extra toy or two around.
