Those R models require some retaining of the brain. My brother leased an 8370R a few years ago, it was often frustrating to run but entertaining to watch others run.

My buddy leased a 6155 M & 6110M with the 24speed transmissions & loaders 4 years ago. He bought the 6110, it is a handy little rig. He uses it as a chore tractor. It’s what I have been mowing with this year.

Eh...

I’m a hack...

All I have to offer is mass quantities of lumber ..

Hell, most of the stuff I try is a dismal failure...

Hopefully the timber oil will keep it from rotting...

I remember helping dad build new hay wagons on running gear, back in 1998/1999-ish. White oak from top to bottom, with the bottom beams and cross-boards painted in used motor oil. We just replaced the beams and cross-boards last year. The verticals and side boards are still mostly solid. They sat in the weather with zero maintenance for about 22 years. I'm guessing if you keep up with the oil/stain every year or two, you'll get every bit of life out of those boards.

I got a call from my uncle Friday night - "Can you help me gather the round bales off the field as I bale them Saturday?" He started baling at about 2, and I started picking them up at about 4:30. I shut the tractor off at 10:30 saturday night, with 105 4x4 bales stacked in the shed. It never did rain... LOL.

That’s always the way if you hadn’t have done it it might have

Picked up a market lamb yesterday at the processor..

Seems they’ve gone to a standard $120 for lambs..

Note to self, if lamb is going to stay a somewhat reasonable commodity, make sure they’re 175 -200 lbs before ya send em.
