TC45A and Tn60A prices

[RickB]

Some of you guys are out of control. Front wheel assist has captured the majority of the agricultural tractor market only over the last 20 years. Prior to that, and in MANY instances yet today, 2WD units get their jobs done effectively. I maintain and plow my driveway which has steep slopes and curves with a Ford 4000 and Case 885 both of which are equipped with chains and proper ballast. You have to be smarter than what you are driving. Mark has done his homework and identified his needs and budget. Most compact tractors need to be 4wd because they don't have the rear weight to be effective as 2wd units. Utility and rowcrop tractors are not saddled with that liability. If Mark buys a 2wd TN to replace his old 3600 my bet is he will be thrilled. If he replaces his 3600 with a 4wd TC, he won't.

RICK B AND BOB YOUNG-FOR THE RECORD I HAVE TAKEN MY 3600 AND FARMALL THROUGH SOME $#!+ AND IT IS A SURE ENOUGH TRACTOR. I LOVE IT TO DEATH AND WILL NOT BE GETTING RID OF IT. IT IS MY FIRST TRACTOR I BOUGHT. ALTHOUGH USED AND RODE HARD BY THE FORESTRY DEPT HERE IN FL IT HAS BEEN A FINE TRACTOR. MY LITTLE CUB HAS MADE THE LONG JOURNEY FROM ROBINSON ILLINOIS. MY WIFES GRANDPA BOUGHT IT NEW IN 47 AND IT RUNS LIKE A TOP. I HAVE LIVED ON MY PROPERTY FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND I USED TO CUT IT WITH THE CUB SICKLE BAR MOWER WHEN THAT WAS ALL I HAD ALBEIT WOULD TAKE 8 HOURS, IT WOULD DO THE JOB. MY NEIGHBOR JUST SOLD 177 ACRES AND HAS BEEN MOVING OLD EQUIPT OFF OF I AS CLOSING IS 1-12 AND I HAVE INHERITED A 3 BOTTOM PLOW, IT NEEDS NEW SHINS. HE ALSO IS OFFERING UP A OLD DISC PLOW, SINGLE OFFSET AXLE WITH ABOUT 26" DISCS ABOUT 6.5 FEET WIDE. NOT MUCH USE FOR EITHER. SURE WISH I COULD GET HIM TO HAUL THAT OLD SINGLE FRONT TIRE FARMALL 400TA OVER BUT HE SAYS HE WANTS TO KEEP IT, HIS FIRST TRACTOR PURCHASE. THEY ARE HAULING OUT THE OLD 1 ROW POTATO PICKER AS WE SPEAK. IT IS NICE TO HAVE FRIENDS AS NEIGHBORS AND ALL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE GREAT.
