Them some nice tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I like the look of the black strip tractors, especially with a 2 post canopy. Thx-Ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
606 diesel Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 5 hours ago, B.B. said: Yes the tri stripe where they added the red stripe looks silly to me I always liked the tri-stripe better faster hydraulics, better steps, decals similar to our 2+2s, one piece front bolster. Not that I don't like our white panel 986 but to me our tri-stripe is easier on the eyes. But to each their own. Although I have been spoiled by our tri-stripe 986 which has FWA, diff lock, non-functioning AC, am fm IH radio, air ride seat and a 2350 loader while our white panel is a bare bones model two remotes, air ride seat (added later on both tractors), and a radio which also was added later at least the tractor was equipped with a cab though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local dealer never used them at all, though most all the others in the area did. Nice original beastie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I humbly apologize to anyone I offended by offering an opinion on tractor styling. No harm was meant in any of my posts but at the end of the day I'm always open to discussing tractors no matter where the other person lands on what they like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I think $8200 or 9400 was a very fair price. Would bring a lot more here in NY. I didn’t think it looked rough at all. Only one Black Stripe here. It seems to have 1-190hp less than the others judging by how it wasn’t ever hitched to anything again this year (luckily…because if it comes out of the pole barn, that means something else is in need of repair) Had to move it out of its spot in the corner yesterday though to put stuff away, snapped this pic of the hood. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I think I started it with my "I don't like them" post! Not your fault man! Just cause I think it looks like somebody took an axe to the tractor hood lines (I mean look at that picture above with all those beauties and that one ugly duckling), doesn't mean anybody else has to agree! And I agree, Tractors are cool, keep the pictures coming, (even if they are black stripe....)😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
