Very cool!
HPX I assume? Be sure to get a bed liner for the back, even if your not getting the hydraulic dump, want to protect it. I got the plastic factory one but with the newer spray on stuff I would do that - stuff works excellent!

855D Baby! I think the 855D will suit me better, I will be using it in the fields too. Great to rip around in the dirt

So, then you plant those starts in the "curvy" tracks?!? :laughing:
Gotta ask... what kind of price did you settle on BEFORE you agreed to a price on your trade-in?
In the neighborhood of 15%?

Very funny, About 90k sale price. 105k list.
Trade on 6420 was only 52k. But I can live with that.

Good call on the 855D. Nicer machine. Wish I could justify the upgrade or it would already be in the barn
Thanks! Sadly my tractors going to get here in April.

The Soil and Water Conservation District in my area has a vegetable planter that is attached to the 3pt. and towed over the beds for planting starts. Either vegetable or flowers.
2-people sit on seats with a couple of metal trays between them with the starts. Metal wheel with V-bars punches a hole in the row ahead of the people planting. They drop a start in the hole and cover - move onto the next hole.
Used on small fields - maybe 2-3 acres - up to 5. Peonies are starting to take hold up here. Folk's getting $3-$5 per bud. Japanese have been discussing Fed-Ex flights.

Be very "colorful" with those curvy, S-tracks...
