. John Deere has one heck of a marketing department don’t they! I guess I can’t be to down on them. They do make good equipment, there just awful pricey. You have me thinking of when I was a kid at home. We did have a local Case dealer and some guys did have Case equipment, in fact that is where my 830 came from, but they were a minority. You would see some Massey, Allis Chalmers, or John Deere, but at that time in our area International Harvester was most popular. Over the years John Deere has just about taken over ag in the area.
I guess it really makes sense that I don’t see many GT’s in this area. When I was a kid a lot of the adults had grown up during the depression and WW2. If they could get it done with what they had they wouldn’t buy something else. My dad always kept a garden. When it needed to be plowed under or disced he went to the shed and got the same equipment we used in the field. I don’t think he ever thought of having a smaller tractor for the garden or around the house. I think a lot of guy from that era were that way. Heck my grandfather bought a new Farmall M in the 1940s and we were still using in the 1990s!
I would have to assume around here anyway lower popularity and frugal farmers probably played a big part in the lack of GT sitting in barns today.
Noel is supposed to do the rambling around here and now it seems I’ve gone on a long one!
Anyway just some thoughts and remembering of how it used to be
let's go, it's finally time to blow. 
ya, you have to get a Case cash stash, which seems to be harder and harder to grow. 
you must never let 
find out about. 
or else
