Muhammad,

Great coverage of Empire Farm days. Many thanks. You sure are lucky to spend all day jumping on and off of dozens of tractors! Some pretty neat stuff there. I just don't know how in the world you get all the things done that you do. You sure there isn't 2 or 3 of you?

Re: P.S. to Empire Farm Days 2000

P.S. I just went back and took the "photo tour." Those p0hotos are really fantastic. Just out of curiousity, what did you use to shoot them? Great quality.

Now Muhammad, it looks like every manufactuers' rep in America was there. Did you hear any "rumors"? You must have SOME tidbits for us??? Now c'mon, don't hold back on us!

Re: P.S. to Empire Farm Days 2000

Bob,

I use an Olympus C-2500L digital camera, and those were taken on the lowest quality setting which gives 640x512 pixel images.

Rumors, yes, but no company reps would talk much about their future product lines, so I can't publish what I heard. But I did I hear again of some models that I have been hearing about for over a year now. I suppose those might be coming in 2001. I can't mention any details though! Sit tight... next year's tractor model news should be at dealers within a few months.

Thank you very much Muhammad. I would have to travel to the eastern part of the state to see such a gathering. I'll have to settle on the few dealers that show up at our local county and state fairs. And whoaaaaa, watch out for the "Fair Food". /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
Those digital camera's are great. I've spent too much time in the digital darkroom (Adobe Photoshop) when there were chores to do. They can be like a guy with a dozen halogens mowing @ 1:00 am. Hard to turn off. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Yes, the digital camera is so good, that I still have the same roll of film in the 35mm from almost a year ago, when the digital came along. Can't remember what is on that film now. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif The quality is so much better that I don’t think I could ever go back to a 35mm.

Yes, the fun in learning Photoshop is addictive... quite amazing what can be done with the program if you ever check out the demo.

Regards...

What the heck was Muhammad thinking when he took these pictures?It seems like there isn t any big row crop tractors in this picture montage which is a outrage.I can see a big Fendt tractor,a big Case and New Holland 4 wheel drive tractors in the background but they are no where to be found in these pictures.I am quite sure that John Deere had some 8000 Ten and 7000 Ten tractors at EFD but where the heck are they?Muhammad, eat your stinken heart out because I went to The National Farm Progress Show in Cantral,Illinois last 9/25-27 where I not only got to see but to drive these new Case STX 4-wheel drive tractors last September including the Quadratrac.I had to wait in line twice for 45 minutes to drive the big 375 horsepower track tractor.Claas introduced a new 605 horsepower self-propelled chopper,the 900.I will be returning to this years which will be held in Lafayette,Indiana this Sepetmber.Muhammed if it would make you happy John Deere did introduce some new cabs for their 6405,6605 and 7405 advantage tractors in Cantral 10 months ago.I only say that because it it seems that Muhammed is obsessed with these tractors under 100 horsepower which is all the pictures you see here.That BIG John Deere picture which is featured here is and I am guessing is a 80 hp 6310 0r a 90hp 6410.It is ironic that he thinks that JD tractor is big in light of that John Deere makes tractors up to 425 horsepower.Muhammad, aword to the wise:Deere is introducing about 22 new tractors this year including the 8000/8000T Series Twenty up to about 260 horsepower,9000/9000T Twenty Series up to about 460 HP and the 6000 Twenty Series tractors.Also New Holland is introducing the TJ series 4wd tractors up to 440 horsepower.Pictures of these John Deeres and NH can be found at toytractorshow.com.Also Caterpillar is introducing some new tractors soon also.They might be rubber tired tractors but I cannot confirm that. Also Muhammad I got to drive a Fendt 926 out in Cantral 10 months ago.
