it all looks great, I really like the 2wd planting tractors, and the cotton picker, what are the fronts on the Case IH, and the rears on the Deere?
and can we see more pictures of the Sprayer tender truck, and the Sunflower Disk

Really enjoying these pictures! One question, did your 9976 come with a see through cab?

Thanks guys for the compliments. The wheels on the 2wd cih are from the 8000 series 2wd deeres painted silver. The rears on the deere are the 8530 authentics with tires from the 9400 deeres with triples from back in the day. All I did was put a 2wd axle on the 8530 to make it a 8130. The clear cab on the 9976 came of the 7720 combine. Really helped that model. Here are some pics of the tender truck and sunflower disk. Also some other random pics.

You've got a great display and lineup, are you gonna do any journals?

Very nice display. Nice to see another cotton farmer on here. How many acres you usually do?

Have nt done any journals in years. I moved off for a few years and never even laid eyes on my displays while I was gone. Since ive moved back, I just haven't taken the time to tinker with them. As far as cotton goes, it varies. Depends on what cotton is bringing. We don't lease any cotton ground because the gins that own it always require you to plant cotton no matter the price. We plant plant cotton as we see fit in order to keep it profitable. The last couple of years we had little to no cotton. Price wasn't there. We took full advantage of the corn and bean prices. This year we went back to some cotton since corn prices fell out. But still nowhere near what we used to farm. Mainly soybeans this year.
Also here are some old planting pics with the 7140 when we first got it.

That is true on cotton prices. I saw them bottom out a few years ago. To where you mostly broke even when the season was done. However cotton prices did jump and that did help. Those years I saw more cotton grown. This year I think its kinda about the same or dropped some.
My display cotton farm grows around 600-800 acres. It depends on the prices. If not that good more corn or soybeans will be planted into those fields.
Thanks to the crop prices for the last few years. I saw a lot of farms upgrading equipment.
