SE MT | That's kind of the point I was getting at in the video-
When we traded off the 4250 for the 7200 back in the late 90s, WOW. what a difference We were sure we'd never revisit the old iron horses. We then had a 6715, and the 7510. We should have kept all 3. Only the 7510 remains.
It has about 9000 hours on the clock, and has mostly sat in the last couple years since we mostly save it for just baling hay and planting now.
The 4630s while a bit crude and unrefined, do the job asked of them, are cheap and reliable. Many farmers/ranchers in this area in the past year or two that traded off good tractors for an "r" series, and have been nothing but broke down.
There were great improvements in technology, power, capability and reliability when the 7000 series tractors came out. There hasn't been that same leap forward since then. If anything, it's went backwards. Same reason our 7510 is still worth near $60K today with 9000 hours on the clock. | |
