I'll second that. We had a perfect year until about May 1st. Then it got too cold and wet and had to replant about half of the corn. Planting beans, the 4320 blew a steering line, covering the front half of the tractor with oil. Then during spraying with the 1655, the crank broke. $5600 dollars and one month and that was fixed. Had to replace the radiator in the 89 T-type with a new one. Then the wife had a fender bender up in Austin (not her fault), and American Family Insurance wanted to total it. Cost $3700 to fix that; been fighting American Family ever since for payment. Took the 1655 on a tractor ride to the Mississippi; while parking along the river, blew the hydraulic line out of the priority valve. Took 3 hours and $70 to fix that. Bought a couple of used gravity wagons to haul in the bumper crop we were supposed to get; half of the wheel bearing were out and have to buy 3 new tires. Since then it has quit raining; the corn and beans are drying up and the aphids have hit the beans which cost $10 dollars an acre to spray. Hope the rest of the year goes better. I guess this is par for us farmers.
