My cousin is a lot bigger farmer than me. I had to go over there today and I was telling him and my Uncle about this video. The old 1086 was right outside the shed, broke down. Cuz says too much money to fix. Over $3000 just for tires. The sheet metal looks better than yours, but about everything else is done for. Just wore out.
He's got a nearly new John Deere (Kuhn) Disc Mower sitting in the shed. I pointed out his old disc mower laying in two pieces outside, to my son and said, "I got our disc mower a year after he got that one,". Jeff was amazed. Then later I realized that wasn't even the mower, it was the one he traded the original disc mower that was a year older than mine, off for." So it was a lot newer than mine. Mine is a New Idea, a company that got bought by Fiat and had their disc mowers re-branded Hesston. Cuz' second mower didn't last nearly as long as the first. I think mine is a '96. I think my baler must be a 2005.
