Whoay,
Can't say I've never been in the orange country. There are 733 views at the moment and I'm remembering when like chickens and thier heads a bobn', everyone was looking for the sob that fills the feed bowl. Has it been two years? When only the orange pushed and shoved to see, smell, and touch the new Grand L's. Like wondering what the hats would look like at the Kentucky Derby. I "was" one of them. All in good time. I see a time for a new middle wieght and it's not orange. 733 views at last check proves that to me. I like Mark's comment on having no color loyalty. "My Daddy come out of Sheridan, Arkansas and it took me 40 years to become color blind." If I had bought at the latter time, probably yes to orange. My first daughter was a carrot head. There is a middle wieght here that had to be addressed in any color. DEPENDING on where and how you would use it. There is a line where you have a toy or a tractor. Some people are misinformed buyers or don't research. My "first" pair of work boots were not Red Wings.
The magic is as simple as growing up around an entire generation of values and colors and smells that are comfortable and warm as Mom! At least she never wanted on a tractor to deprive me of playing in the dirt.
I have had to decide on a rig that can be moved to a new location in a few years and do different things. It's HP can do what is needed now without abuse and not cost the farm. This class of tractors have been with us since before my generation. Utilities. May be able to pull baler (powered or unpowered), simple to fix or priced good to service. Like a swiss army knife, but not right out of the BOX. This new blue can be ordered off the truck as you want it. Saving either your wallet or the servicemans time to install the options. (some service is dual, as in yellow and heavy and busy) That does not make your rig second class.
This is or can mean value. At this time or down the road. Yes, only time will tell and you'll hear anything different.
My first instinct or gut feeling have worked for me.
Now lets see, ...I'd like to add the Blue Bradco, the 4 in 1 can stay black, white trailer please. Just hitch it up to the old Blue Ford.
