Hey Blink. The dealerships I mentioned were CaseIH dealerships. Our catch phrase was…. “Nothing runs like a Deere…. Or smells like a John.” But I love you anyway. :pound-hand:

Truth. You have a good tractor. I just worked for the competition. We learned early on when selling our brand, you didn’t talk down the competitor. Didn’t tell the farmer JD tractors were junk….. since he could very likely have several in the shed. You’ve now just insulted the guy.

Edit: 8N Ford may have been the coolest tractor I ever ran. Fun and almost impossible to kill. Believe me. I tried!

Ford tractors?? Ew. Lol
There's several JDs on our farm.
We do prefer New Holland when it comes to swathers, however.

Ultimately it boils down to just getting the job done. Many tractors are totally capable of doing the job. Yeah, we've got an old blue one too. It's older than dirt and still runs alright. Mostly gets used to shuttle bins around the orchard area of the farm these days though

And just to your left is Grant County, the nation's leading potato producing county.
I think Idaho still has the crown for most potato producinest state though

You’ll have that happen once in a while. Before I stepped into parts I worked in service and drove the big truck. Early 70s when Case was running their own engine, not the Cummins that came into use late 80s. Anyway. Picked up a Case 2wd that had blown a hole in the side of the block. Never quit running. Farmer just thought he ought to shut it down and figure out the big vibration.
