In my travels through the prime farm country of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin I will see a lot of red machinery for a while and then a change over to green and then back to red. I would think that is because of dealer support in those areas, but maybe it's just something that happens. Back in the late 30s, when the Fordsons were all wearing out, we saw a lot of green tractors in our neighborhood due to the John Deere dealer's ability to finance those tractors and work out a payment schedule that fit the buyer's operation. Versus the local banks who were notoriously stingy about loaning money to farmers. We, meaning my father and grandfather, always paid cash for equipment, so the finance offer didn't mean much. We usually looked at price, and what the machine could do for us. Back then, there really wasn't a bad tractor around and some brands made a better planter or hayloader, etc., than other brands. I still do that. I pay cash for everything although once in a while it pays to sign up for financing. When I bought my new John Deere tractor the dealer told me he had given me the best possible price but if I signed up for John Deere financing I would get $4000 cash back from John Deere. I signed up and then paid the loan off as soon as the paperwork went through. When I bought a new corn planter it was based on price. John Deere vs Kinze. Same planter. Kinze pay now and get the planter 9 months later or John Deere, order now, pay for it when it comes in and $4000 cheaper to boot. A no-brainer.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
