MM R was my dad's first tractor he ever owned. MM 670 Super was the last tractor he ever owned. MM were great tractors and could outwork most others IMO. ;-)

Grandpa bought a 66 U302 Super brand new. It got brought to our family farm in the very early 80's(Dad's farm) and got the pleasure of using it in my youth, and the pleasure of owning and using it now on my small country home property. Very, very, very reliable well built machine. I used to joke with Dad, if moline had made a U302 two years sooner, they might have run JD out of buisness. Instead White bought them and the rest is history.

+davenhla LOL! That is a funny joke. :)

[@cornshucker77]

+davenhla Back in the 60's a neighbor of ours had some health problems and the area farmers got together and put his crops in for him that spring. My father was using a MM670 Super pulling a 4-16 MM plow. He was pulling near a JD 4020 pulling 4-16 and the MM670 Super walked away from the 4020, as he put it. I agree JD would have been in trouble, as you say. :-)

Hi

[@jab353]

Really love the Jet Star 3

[@Agislife1960]

Definitely an old tractor fan, Im just curious, did they ever make an MM tractor with a cab and AC.

[@rammatic7881]

Yes they offered factory cabs in the newer models, starting with the G1000 Vista. G1355s had factory cabs with A/C units on the back.

[@bigford1578]

@@rammatic7881 I have a G705 with a cab that has a heater, I believe there was optional A/C as well. The cabs were aftermarket but looked factory, the one on my 705 is a Meade cab.

[@rammatic7881]

@@bigford1578 oh yes that’s right I had forgotten about the Meade cabs on the older models. I’ve seen some M670s with them. I don’t know if I consider them factory cabs but they were put on by the dealerships if I’m not mistaken. However if I’m incorrect and they were put on at the dealership I retract my former statement.

I wish Ertel would make some of the true MM tractors (before MM purchased Oliver). The brown body, yellow sheet metal ones.

[@bigtractorpower]

SpecCast has made a 1/64 brown belly G1000 in 1/64 scale.

[@ralphhitchensjr.9633]

I only collect 1/16 scale.

[@molinesloth01]

😭😭 I WANT TO GO THERE SO BAD 😭😭😭

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s well well worth the trip. It’s in late August this year. 22-25 I think.

[@molinesloth01]

Yep I would love that because where I like there are like 10 Molines in that state and I happen to own one of them

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

Mm had the first production tractor with a production cab in the late 30s, ac?.....

[@bigtractorpower]

They sure did. It looked more like a car.
