Welker Farms just did a refresh on the Moline. They're interesting folks, a mix of smarts and "brute force and ignorance". Some things they do baffle me.On the whole I like the MN Millenial farmer better but Welkers have more, older, toys... -Curt

My Dad's 'new' JD was basically a lemon, and ended up filling the crankcase with diesel fuel before needing expensive engine work. It was also somewhat puny compared to the older tractors he was used to. He would have been far better served buying an older, bigger JD with a more traditional engine construction. The lemon was turbo'd. Lots of horsepower (on paper), but in practice fairly underwhelming for a lot of uses. It's my brother's problem, now. Nothing we had pulled/grunted like the old Moline UTS. Heavy, redline at 1200 RPM. 40-odd HP, but torque that would rip things in half. And an appetite for gasoline to match! -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
