The latest addition to the yuppie tractor collection. If we can't get chit done now with four MFWD tractors something is wrong!

'07 6430 Premium, we don't need the loader for how we plan to use this tractor and might just take the bucket off and leave the frame on.

Replacing an early 1970's IH 656 so I guess it was time for an upgrade, hopefully it's as reliable.......
(kept the 656 and traded in a 1976 IH 1066)

Stylin' on the Rez.
Nice.

It is kind of a cute little thing.


Cuzzin' be jealous fo sho...

Sweet!

Nice Sam, could use a paint job, color you know.

I like blue, but as one JD fan once told me, green is the color of money. The resale on JD's are fantastic.

Just havin' fun with Sam. I have spent many hours on Farmall M's, an a H.

That is a sweet tractor, and one that looks like it was well cared for, lots of windows for taking great pictures! And they have a really nice beer holder too.

Fancy!


You probably still need a D8 though.

bet parts for that one is cheap

blanket, parts do not seem cheap for anything!

Jim, ol' Sam likely will not speak to the likes of us anymore. "Pick me up on your way down".

Looks good. How many hours and what transmission?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, the wrong color.....



Jimy, lots of windows and lots of buttons. Actually too many buttons and a fancy little touch screen which neither my dad or l have idea how to use. Think old flip phone users....

They make a standard 6430 that doesn't have all the computerized stuff and we would have preferred that version but this was the first 'little' JD that we had found that was a local trade. I spotted it the first day it was listed and told my dad that he'd better call ASAP if he wanted it. Decent used JD's go fast around here as there is such a limited supply.

The old 2WD IH is getting tired and we have enough packed snow in the feed lanes that the MFWD should come in handy here in a week or two when things finally thaw out.



Jim, dad was pushing snow yesterday with the Versatile and I was digging away with the 4450.
There is more snow to the east and west of us, we're gonna wait and get our moisture in the form of rain.....I hope....



Anson, it has just over 3500 hours and has the IVT transmission which we thought would be handy for pulling the mixer wagon. The loader appears to be basically unused.

Y'all will need all the 4x4 you can get shortly...

I suspect the mud will be trying your patience this year.

It's bone dry under the snow, zero sub moisture so maybe it will soak in quick.

I've been meaning to take a snow sample(on the level) and try and figure out just how much moisture is in the snow.


If I start whining about mud this Spring kick me in the nuts!


After last year's drought mud will be a GOOD problem....

I hope you, and your father love that tractor Sam, and I hope it loves you back!

Richard, that makes three of us!


Always nervous buying a used machine...



Just checked the dealers website and see our old 1066 is already gone. That didn't take long.

Who are you?
First it was Patrón,
now the high dollar paint.
I hope all this luxury and cush don't take the Rez outta you......
It's like I don't even know you anymore.


Slave

Bro, you know me better than that, R to the E Z 'til I die!



Speakin' of Patron, I just got home and washed off the trail dust. Time to wash down the craw with a little Patron!

And Molson, going full Hi-Line on this beautiful Saturday afternoon....
