JD industrial makes some real nice stuff though. I don't actually mind their Ag stuff just IH has better service and prices.

IH makes good tillage equipment, oh yeah, and the old 1086 and 856 era machines. Them things were tough as hell and I liked the looks of them as well. I have no idea why but at a tractor pull those model tractors take home the cash 9.5/10 times. As a matter of fact, if I was to get into pulling I'd have a 856 or 1056 painted green! :D

How much drill are you pulling Fred? That hill doesn't look as a bad as a few I have that I can pull with my 40' Bourgault 5710 with MRB's. Just have an 8870 JD with duals all the way around. It looks wet to. That probably isn't helping. I have a couple that I have to seed downhill as well. Lol.

We have farmed that land for forty years and todate no tractor, sprayer, combine has ever made it over, we use it aS a test hill, in video it looks small just like helmet cams do, bit it's long aand steep, it actually slid the tractor down once outside the
ruts, with tractor tires locked, and tractor would bbe over 65000lbs

Interesting. Can't wait to hear what the reason is here. Perhaps they finally pulled their heads out of their asses and realized we can't plant in snow and standing water.

Just when I thought I had it bad, someone else is in worse shape than me. Can you say "SEEDING DELAY"!
