Good feed value in that white clover. What kind of grass?

How massive is your Ferguson? My dad has a 165 that looks pretty close to what little I see of yours.

Its fescue mostly.

That's a 175.

Not in bad shape....except for the fenders, of course.

Clover is supposed to be high in protein.

Drys slower than the grass....takes an extra day in this cooler weather.

Looks good boss. Good things come to those who wait.

I like it... Must hold good R's running that disc mower?

It surprised me. I just got it a few days ago. I did bog it down a couple of times around the edge. But that stuff was crazy thick.

Guessing the JD in the shop didn't go well?

Ain't fixed yet. I'd rather get another tractor to use instead of pressuring them.

I'm ok with them taking their time.

Couldn't agree more. Those Masseys with the perkins are tanks!

And on this one, the Multi-Power even works.

But it ain't got no brakes. I'll fix that after I'm done with this hay.

Just finished rehabing this d17 for a neighbor. Have some work to do on the power director still and then its back in service.

I like tractors. For 3500.00 I couldn't pass up the 175.

The john deeres that we used to run here in nz( 2040s and 2850) had to be really reving to run a disc mower properly . Really lacked torque and had to be driven hard to get much out of them . Stopped using them for that after a while . 2040s was real good on the baler though (new Holland 376 conventional) seemed to have less breakages with the ( very)low torque

Having more tractors can sure be handy. A backup is super useful. We use our Ranger EV every day for a ton of tasks. It wouldn't charge the other day and I called a couple repair places. They were both backed up a couple weeks and didn't have anything they could rent. I looked at my wife and said "we'd better start shopping for another one!". She wasn't particularly amused, but right now at the beginning of apple season, I'm not sure we could afford to be without that thing. Luckily I jiggled some connectors and it's functioning again.

As much hay as I cut, I feel like not having a back up tractor is crazy.

Just watched the same exact tractor sell at an estate auction a few hours ago. $5700.00
