Thanks !
Lot of truth in that !
My wife has done a good job of keeping things moving whenever I've been away, but winter is coming on and for some reason she is shy of using the newer JD for putting out round bales for the cows. (I think it is cause she knows what it cost ) The other one is an older 4010, she was fine with it ( far more complex control sticks) but I've got it partial;y apart for over two years now ! She is at home on the Ford 3000 and she really loves raking hay. She has no concerns with the Ventrac or the Cubs we cut grass with either. The new one though honestly once you climb in is more like her car than a tractor. No wait to start system, Heat/Ac, ws wiper, shuttle shift, joystick hydraulic controls...It is the kind of tractor that allows older farmers to keep farming less painfully !
Whenever any of the boys are home they can't wait to have a reason to use it, I have been thankful for it every-time I climb out after finishing some task around here in a rush in time to pack to travel back to some work-site. So now as you said I can choose the tractor and schedule the projects in a much less stressful manner.
BP was 127/68 this morning !
Retirement is good !
