The talk about different flops from various manufacturers makes me wonder about that age-old question of the best tractor ever...
i am a MF guy and have never been disappointed with any of my machines...my grandfather bought our 165 gasser new in 1971 and it has been the daily workhorse around here for 40 years, same w/ our 265...so for me...40 years of service with no major malfunctions or breakdowns...so i understand that each person will have a different opinion
but
from what i understand a JD 4020 is up there with the best of the best all around tractors...big production #s, plenty of power, many still in use...revered by collectors.
however
i remember reading a while ago that the 4320 was a 4020 on steroids...every part of it heavy-duty and beefed up...some turning 130 hp easy...15K hrs before overhaul...
so..
is the 4320 the most well-built tractor?
