    I wouldn't be surprised if the 4020 went for a bit more than that. Loader or not, But I think your close. Unless a couple of them there easterners get involved.

    Today, John Deere announced steps designed to strengthen its U.S. manufacturing operations and continue positioning the company for long-term growth. https://www.deere.com/en-us/john-deere-news/facility-updates

    That sepends on which loader and whose looking. They sometimes bring more than that here. I'm guessing the 4020 will bring more. At least it would locally I think. But I'd be happy with either of them.

    Well I've never driven one. But I always thought Grandpa explained it as you released the lever and that let the pedal for low come all the way back up past neutral for high. But I may have misunderstood his explanation. Grandpa passed in 89 or so and those conversations were ahead of that. So my memory may be faulty. Thank you snoshoe.

    Grandpa grew up in the model t era. He always talked about the 3 pedals. If I recall 1 for low/high, 1 reverse and 1 for brakes. He also talked about how folks leg would get tired of holding the pedal down for low and let up on it a bit causing the band to slip a bit and get band material in the oil and eventually clog up the oil return and starve a rod at the back or front of the engine. I can't recall which. They made a kit to externally oil the offending rod when that happened. He and a friend took 2 car loads of girls to ledges state park one Sunday and the friends T had this happen. They pulled into a little service station and waited while the mechanic installed the kit and fixed the rod and off they went. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know but for those who have never been around them.

    If I recall, original poster was wanting something to mow around ponds. In that case 9' may be better than 7'? I would be nervous on a pond damn with either! 😵‍💫

    In all seriousness, as some said on the other thread, I have different favorites at different times over the years based on what I've been around or own. I appreciate the progression of technology over the years (to a point a anyway). Currently my favorite is probably my 560. Tho any 06 to 88 series could easily shift that opinion. When it comes down to it I like most tractors.

    I can't tell you. The other ones will be jealous. 🤫

    Disappointing results.
  16. iowaboy1965
    That was kind of my original point bud. Tho you chose to emphasize all the negatives instead of the positives from that earlier time period. Quite telling.

    Yes I fully realize there has never been 100% agreement. And I did not say that. But the basis for right and wrong and what was socially and morally acceptable was at one time more more closely aligned in a larger majority of our citizens. Not perfectly nor 100% but more closely than now.
  18. iowaboy1965
    I respectfully disagree. There was a time when the moral and social standards were closer together in this country. Say from 1900 to 1960 ish. Even as late as early 1980s the standards were closer together than now. Imo.

    Very tragic. 😞

    I do agree every effort should be made to keep elections honest. I did vote early the last couple times. Not mail in, but in person. Had to show id and verify who I was. I don't have a problem with that. I'm not a big fan of mail in ballots. Tho my 90 yr old mother voted that way this time. She is to the point it would be difficult for her to vote in person, even with someone taking her. But I do see a huge potential for cheating with the mail in ballots and I do not like that. I hope none of my comments are out of bounds. They are not intended to be and mods may delete if they are. Have a nice day everyone, and follow your conscience.

    I miss the days when it at least seemed like our country was more United on more issues.
  22. iowaboy1965
    I and I'm sure many others agree with you. But we have to keep trying. And yes it's like walking thru quicksand. But if enough people feel strongly enough about an issue I do believe there is some movement and give in the direction things go. It is never enough or fast enough, so it seems, but there can be gradual change. Lots of work to be done..

    I dont know but I'm picturing hand loading into large card board boxes on pallets and then loaded onto a truck?
  24. iowaboy1965
    I've been looking for those!

    There are places that custom make pushrods. I know in the ford fe world I see mention of measuring to have new made, and several places are talked about that make them. How pricey they are I would have no idea
