Mr. Thinker Question

Malcolm Kirkland · Feb 26, 2011

Could anyone please tell what the question and answer is for question #2 of the Mr. Thinker column in the February 2011 issue of The Green Magazine? It is on page 80 of that magazine. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Mr. Thinker,
I own a John Deere 4020 with a gas engine and a roll-o-matic narrow front end. Is this a rare set-up and how many were equipt like mine? I have not seen many with these options.

Deere made just under 8,000 gas row crops. The type of front-end is irrelevent because it could have been changed at any point, from the time it left the factory to yesterday, by a chimp who knows how to operate a jack and owns a few wrenches.MT

Thanks a lot Mark-Ia. Typical smart answer from Mr. Thinker.

Company policy anymore isn't it?

The point is that any of the 8000 gas row-crop 4020's could have had the ROM at any point of they're life. It only takes a few minutes to change the front end. For example, my grandpa's 4020 had a wide-front under it most of the year, but he put the ROM under it when he put the corn picker on it. I know that was very common in this area.
