I am not sure about the engine he has but a buddy of mine got burnt pretty good on a coup this year. He bought one this winter for around $10K, ran good over about 200 acres. The diesel engine locked up. It had not been well cared for and traded, it was one of them small engines that are not made to be rebuilt and the best deal he could find on one was $17,000 for a new one. Not try'n to scare you off it, just what I know happened to a friend of mine. Smaller (1000-2500 acre) people around here like them, as said before, they are light and make a small foot print in the field. They lack a little bit of power on steep hills and tend to sink in soft spots. Custom and big opperators here mostly run newer Apatche's, row gators, or deere's, they can cover more ground with a fill up and will run over wet ground a few days faster that the older coups.
Not realy mad at them or nothing but I am a very small row croper (60 acres) and when things started move'n this wet spring I kina got lost in the crowd with my custom guy. For no more than I have I can not get a self propelled job but I am thinking of getting about a 40' pull type. There is a good looking Hardi not too far from me in the Fastline for $1800. For what I figure I lost to wire worms because I was not able to get insecticde on my corn till it was six inches tall, I could pay for it. The custom guy does a good job (just doesn't want to get close to tree lines and I understand, I go around the sides and get them with the 4-wheeler and 12 volt sprayer) I would just like to do my own burn down and pre-emergence and let him do the later work when things slow down for him.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
