Look what I drove today

A beautiful tractor. However, I would be to tired to drive after climbing all those steps. I have enough trouble climbing one step to get on my little NH TC33D.

Case-IH has worked very hard over the past ten years or so trying to make their equipment more user friendly. John Deere has led the way in that regard for decades. Little things like filter location and serviceability might be the difference in making a sale or losing it. As for the plastic, that's the only way to go. Plastic fuel tanks have been around for quite a while in industrial and agricultural equipment. Generally plastic stands abuse and use better than metal with no worries about paint loss or dents. Lastly, the tractor in the background might be used.

John Deere has been wayyyyyyyyyy behind in serviceability for many years. We have sold many blue tractors to lifelong JD guys with that being one of the main reasons.

Gee, if I'd only known... I could have really wow'ed you last week. I bought a JD9400 at auction and drove it home. If you liked 300 horse, you'd have loved this one with 700HP and articulated steering with logger tires about 6' wide on all four corners!

How are you getting 700HP from a 425HP tractor? Has it been repowered?

Due to the difficulty hooking up large attachments to large tractors, my friend said they order the quick hitch with all tractors that have a Cat. III hitch. He said they can be ordered without one but most people want it. He said the lift capacity is over 20,000lbs. Wow!

And, yes, sensors do buzz every 5-10 minutes, which kept making me think I had done something wrong to it. One of the things it does is adjust the rpm to be more efficient on fuel consumption and it buzzes every time it does that.

I do know someone who builds pulling tractors. They look like drag racers. I should ask what the Hp is on those.

Yepper! I was surprised it took this long for someone to ask that.

Quick hitch does not have to be ordered for MX Magnums, it is standard equipment on all these tractors with three point hitch.
