Riding on JD 8425r

My good buddy was planting corn behind the house today and I rode with him. That is one nice tractor. Even the little seat is comfortable.

Sweet! I've ridden in the 4730 sprayers with the "auto steer" and that is crazy cool. Quiet cab, ice cold a/c, aggravating beeping noise every now and then and sit back and the tractor will drive itself as well as spray itself after you program te settings. Biggest row crop tractor I've ridden/driven is a 4840.

I take that back, biggest was an 8120 used to pull some sort of pan in a crawfish pond.

Like my buddy said there is no way you can be tired driving that thing, like riding in a Cadillac. Unless your fingers get tired, cause all you do is press a button and turn loosed of steering wheel. Amazing.

10 years ago we still had to drive our tractors. 5 years ago we had a guidance system that allowed you to follow a line on a screen. Nowadays you just have to turn the tractor on the end. And if we upgraded again we wouldn't even have to do that. We have a deere 8430 and an 8230 with guidance, and a New Holland T8020 with guidance. Dealer brought me out a New Holland T8.390 to try out yesterday, that's a nice tractor too.
