I'm an old man, grew up farming in New Mexico. lived in Washington, now live in Texas. I'll tell you how a farm decides "what color gear" to use... Its "USUALLY" dependent on WHAT COLOR dealer is closest to the farm. Not always, but it plays a big part! The farm I worked on as a kid, ran Green Tractors, but the Hay gear was 100% New Holland. worked on a Canola farm in Western Washington for awhile, they were dead Red!. Overall, after 55 years, I've concluded, .... They're all GREAT, and they ALL break!.... having parts and service nearby IS A BIG deal.
Laura and Grant, normally the corn is much taller in that black soil at this time of year, but it was very dryer than normal in June and early July. However, the rains came at the perfect time just as the corn silked and tasseled.
Wonderful to see Laura and Grant trying out other makes of equipment, they will all have good and bad points to them, and really none of them are bad just different.
Awesome Case IH tractors. I been driving a truck with Cat engine since 2005 with two turbos. Not the same HP. Glad to see you and Grant seeing new things. Like your farm videos. Had family that farmed in western Nebraska.
