    Prices coming down?

    Of course it can come down. They take a small loss on the used stuff now, or a bigger loss in 6 months along with more interest payments. Or they refuse to sell it and go bankrupt.

    Bison to save the planet

    I listened to this on NPR last week as well. They are like a Guardian radio station in the US. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/23/1124816014/grasslands-the-unsung-carbon-hero It’s like all the WEF receipts have been given a fresh memo.

    I think dishwater turning to Kate Forbes at the end and then lecturing to her was even worse. If you pick her for your team you have to back her 100%.

    Thoughts on McCormick MC?

    No. I saw a grey decal one once with Perkins so thought they stuck with Perkins but turns out they changed later on as well. https://www.farminguk.com/news/amp/mccormick-mc-power6-tractors-get-bigger-more-modern-engine_7659.html

    Thoughts on McCormick MC?

    The MC McCormacks stuck with the Perkins for the 6 cylinder though with the stressed engine block and no chassis cradle.

    Apparently European headlights can be up to twice as bright as North American lights. You learn something new every day. https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/ResearchReportEuroSpecvsUSHeadlamps.pdf

    Thoughts on McCormick MC?

    Still the best shuttle on the market and big hydraulic pump as well. Horrible draft or road tractors though.

    Today at work

    At least with a DB on 13.8s he wouldn’t have been drilling in to wheel marks.

    I would think “The men in Grey Kilts” have told them all to be the First Minister, the SNP has to stay in power so you all better toe the line.

    Tractor/machinery prices dropping yet?

    60-70 is what the dealer would be asking for it. You would be getting 50 as a trade. Whereas you would be at 30 for your ford. So maybe 20 of a difference at 10,000 hours. It seems like the higher HP you go the closer in price Fendt is to NewHolland on new price, the HD NHs are big money...

    The Trump 'monster'.

    On the plus side for American politics both DJT and some democrat senators are backing the speaker in the interest of keeping government working which shows a level of maturity that hasn’t been seen in a while.
