Stop in for a cup of coffee
We farmed thousands of acres and had a large fleet of vehicles. It was a literal Petri dish of equipment trials every single day. In the end we could trade power, torque, fuel mileage, quietness in cab, elegant features, all for durability and service life. Our staff would tear up fords and chevies like candy but could not destroy the Rams. Again same thing on four wheelers, and we had a bunch of them all different colors. Hands down by a large margin Honda ranchers for the win. Small tractors, Kubota are bullet proof. Large tractors green for gas mileage and yellow for pulling power. Longevity was a toss up. Please note our staff was far tougher on our equipment than any of you guys will ever be on yours. They did not check oil water or fluids on any kind of regular basis. As a result I had a staff of almost thirty full time mechanics just keeping stuff running. Yes it was/is big Ag, but man you want to test equipment hand it to a kid with zero education who can’t read the dash anyway and tell him to getRdone! He will throw it in drive and hit it!
