ouch. i know someone was crying.
It's a wonder any farmers are left with prices of equipment so high. Our Grandparents farm of 60 acres is down to 30, and run on the side by another farmer. Sure miss the holidays with all the Aunts and Uncles, cousins etc.. playing in the vineyard, hunting the nearbye levies, and the big dinners in the little old farm house!
I wouldn't want any of you good folks to think my family members are elderly or anything , but my grandfather and my dad farmed with MULES.Quote:

:LOL: now that is funny jim.
As new as that tractor is, I'd bet the farmer went after JD for a new one.
It is brand new. Er, uh I should say WAS brand new.
nothing runs like a deer:eek:... when it s butt is on fire :whacked:
At your local John Deere dealer:
2008 John Deere 9870 STS
$272,000 US
Maybe they needed the money? :HMMM: When have you ever heard of one burn before.

They light up more often than you think ;)
Mounted corn pickers used to burn often--I believe they were the first things that got fire ext mounted on them---the exhaust systems had a screen system put on to help keep the corn shucks away and invaribly if they didn't keep them clean, thats where the fires would start from very fine debries thatt built up
By the way----I'm so old that I drove the mules too
First mechanics job was making gasket out of a Nabisco shredded-wheat box with a small ballpein hammer(about 5 years old)
