    Yeah, that's crazy that it loses half its value in about a year. Especially with prices being what they are. Old iron is insane these days. If you had a 4_ _ _ series (4440, 4020, etc) jd tractor for sale now....you could get more than new price for it. Nuts. They keep setting records every week at the sales! Heck @cke is sitting on a gold mine right now. Now is the time to retire brother. ;)

    Those headers are sweet. If it is the vac assisted model, they work very well! I imagine the tracks are for compaction and floatation in the rice fields?

    In that first pic I posted you can see how good it does. It's pretty clean coming out of my hoppers going into the dryer.

    Sound like a big zero turn mower when they go by

    That's pretty awesome. Only time I've been around that brand was a chopper. I hauled it for a guy from the dealer out to his place. I loaded it backwards. Well....nobody told me the frigging roof on those things hinge backwards! Within a few miles of getting up to speed the roof went flying down the hiway! I pulled over and tossed it under the machine and put a 2inch strap over it. He ended up fixing it himself and really didn't say much about it. Holy cow dude.....I about had a heart attack when that thing flew down the road at 60mph like a Frisbee!

    I imagine the true twin sticks gave you a whole lot of options. I guess technically they were like 20 speeds? Not that you’d use all of them.

    My Dad would holler at me all the time for getting “lost” in the truck stop. There was just so much for a youngin’ to look at truck wise. I did wonder why so many women truck drivers had on short shorts and low cut tops!o_O;)

    I really hate company trucks. It's a gorgeous night out. I've got my screens in the windows and my little fan on. Yet, everyone else has to idle! Grrrrr
