combining pics (lotsa red!)

[Deleted]

This fall I was working for my neighbor during my college fall internship. He runs 2200 acres, half soybeans, half corn. It took three of us 2 1/2 weeks to combine 1200 acres.
My office for 16 hours a day:

He got the Mx 285 tractor after this happened to his 7120 when he was planting last spring:



taking up the whole road













I also baled cornstraw for another guy:





One of my buddys sent me a picture of them hauling cornstraw bales:


and another friend sent me this:


questions, comments, welcome.

Wow triples on the 285 looks great.. I ran a new 275 on a new brent 860 cart an a JD 8220 on a cart or wagon.. I like them MX tractors..

Those are some good pics. Tim, I guess those bigger mx's must have been better than our mx110. We had problems ever since it came from the factory.

thats for sure! its only a 4240 too!

the magnum now has rock picking, land rolling, and auger duty. He traded a 5140 for the Mx and uses the 7120 on the 5140's old jobs. He only has three tractors.

I loved the Mx! Nicest tractor ive ever driven, all the controls are placed conveniently, nice cab, lotsa power and flotation

[hoss]

dang we pull 3 hay wagons unloaded and thats max for us. i think my boss would shoot me if i thought about givin him 3 wagons hooked together let alone pullin 5...lol of course we have a big a$$ hill but even pulling then in the bottoms lol.

Very nice photos. All good shots. Kudos to the photographer! I am curious what caused the axle housing to fail on the 7120?

OBTW I like red!

Thanks! i took the pictures. He has a 24 row semi-mount planter and saddle tanks on the tractor so it was too much weight for it. This winter he is getting bigger axles put on the mx just in case
