Just a little crude.
But, if a man really did his cleaning and fixing proper, they were pretty decent.
The one we had just had the ROPS on it. Was a hay making fool.
Good visibility, quiet, super maneuverable, and awesome on fuel.
We even had it on the silo blower for 2 years.
Not bad for a measly 85HP!

Wheat is in..
Not sure if it needs rain or not..
Maybe a tenth or so would work.

We got you shower. Of rain that is.

Had a lot of trouble with electronic issues on a 55's. I know they were mannheims, but seeing 55 still makes me cringe. The 7000 & 7010s are solid the 20's are alright. 7030 & newer I want no part of.

All of the 4x55 Deere's are Waterloos; they were the pinnacle of Deeres.

I guess I'm a little confused; 4055, 4255, 4455, 4655, 4855, 4955, and 4960 are all Waterloo tractors. I have heard that some of the real early 4055 used a Saran engine, the 359T.
Deere did market a 4240S and 4440S for export at about the same time. They were a Waterloo design that was put together in the Mannheim factory to European standards.

Poor wording from me. We had a 2355 & a 2555.

I thought that was the 4050?

Correct.
The 2955 was German IIRC
Tag said " John Deere werk Mannheim "

Wasn't there some 3X55 also? The 2955 I did the transmission on was a Mannheim tractor with a Dubuque motor

I remember the Mansfield charity cut. Alan was pulling logs with a two popper. Watched him come out of the woods, more than once, with the front wheels a foot off the ground. 30, 40, 50 yards that way.
Amazing.
