Kids along in the fields, reminds me of my upbringing. We bought a new front wheel assist 4250 W/power shift in 1983, and it's still one of the best tractors on our farm. My latetest upgrade showed up last monday. A new Landoll disk, and instead of limping an old marginal machine around. We now have something we can really count on. I bet your going to like that tractor, and I wish you and your family a prosperous new year.
