lol, you too. I thought mine was a disappearing finger turned out to be the Drive chain carving a new home.
Checked that and seems to be alright. Although I'm sure you will agree that is the most ridiculous design I have ever seen. Brutal to tighten when on the combine.

Cheap Russian horsepower coming to North American.

Supposed to be coming out with a 550hp version too.

Its just a Belarus tractor under a different name....made in the same factory....

Kind of BS how manufacturers in North America are forced to sell Tier 4 engines for units they sell in North America but yet they will allow foreign manufacturers to import much cheaper Tier 3 engines

I know but it is good to see them back.
$290k for a new 435 HP tractor is impressive.

Their 2018 engines are Tier 4.

It works in thresholds I believe, if you sell x amount of units then you have to meet the latest emmisions.

if there anything like the old Belarus's ...the price is not impressive....poor reliabilty, poor parts availability, doesn't take too long to realize it was a bad purchase and then you find out no one wants it on trade............

and yes, once they sell a certain number of units, manufacturer's are forced to upgrade to tier 4....the report I read said that will be years away before they hit that number...not sure what that number is

New on is T4.
Same Mercedes engine that is in the Claus experion.

Regardless if a guy gets one or not, it should hopefully push down the prices on some of the other tractors.

The boys should get the last of the winter wheat planted today. It's late for that and the weather has been a bitch. Only have one bunch of calves weaned so far, and that was on a bunch of cull cows that were then sold. Have corral repairs and a fencing project to get done, and some steel siding to a house. A gal that works for us, her significant other does too, just told us she's pregnant, and we hired on another guy.....actually before we knew she was.

Finished up last night. Moved to the neighbours this morning and started grinding on 1/2 section. 2 of 3 combines semis and grain cart. Sure I’ve got lots of fall work and stuff to do but having good relations with neighbours/friends is important too. It what makes the farming community great, besides beers taste better when someone else is buying!!

Lol we used to farm around 15 thousand we just do a little over 2 now the one 690 is ours the rest are my uncles they still farm over 10. Did just weight tests and overall all combines were pretty close pretty nice combine i think its the largest combine on the market but resale in our area would be a tough one oretty big green and red area although lexion has snagged a few guys



Jesus you guys are running 5 deerz thought you said you downsized. Lol
