Wayne has a new Deere & old front blade

I saw this on his farm the other day. And took some pics of it. He bought it used off the Wilson Farm. Who last I heard has around 1500 acres. Which they usually round bale it all. Well this was one of their round baling tractors. Which is the reason for the wider stance, and the mirrors added to help on the baling. Not a bad looking John for around 8600 hours. And yes it does have a new coat of paint and decals. Wayne said he isn't sure what he will do with it for now. Just have to wait and see.



Beside it I found his old front blade he has. He used this in the 1980s to work up terraces. I remember seeing this on his old 4320 he used to have. Later the 4320 was sold for a new 3055.

Wow, never thought I'd see equipment like that in such good condition down here! Most of the times I see a tractor, the tires are turned red from the dirt! Do you have any more photos of the whole farm?

Wow talk about sharp! Been looking for a blade like that for on our 2520. Our 2520 had that kind of wide stance on the 4440. Would that typically be for cotton work?

Cotton is usually planted in row spacing like corn. At least in my parts they are. The reason why they had the 4440 like this was to cover the straw windrows a lot easier that they baled. Their combines had like a 25ft header. So that would make a bigger windrow.
