Harley, Deer, Polaris and others were looking to buy Cannondale MotorSports division after the Chapter 11, but they did not bid enuff $$$$. A Co. called Pegasus purchased both div. and is selling off the motorsports. Rumor mill has it that Rad2Go has purchased them???? If they did, it should be finnalized by the end of this month.


If that's the case....I'll be sorry I didnt buy a 03' Crated Cannibal for 4k

It's ok, we're fellow Ss!!! Go Honda!

Anyway, yeah John Deere has some pretty gay stuff going on lately cough4000seriescompactscough, and the quads will probably suck lol, we'll see. The 4000/4010 series compacts are great tractors to operate and all that good stuff, but their reliability is questionable. Although their new X series lawn and garden tractors seem to be doing quite well so far. I get 2 mowing hours behind the wheel of my uncles new X495 (24 horse Yanmar diesel) tomorrow afternoon :-D . My dad once told me when we were making fun of the 4000 series, even though some of this new stuff sucks, its still better than what the competition can do, or something like that. I guess we're both guilty of bias, he's a parts manager at our local dealership. Although it does say something that he grew up a Ford/Ford man from birth and converted to Chevy(VW, can't afford them anymore though)/John Deere.

i mow with a ford 2000 and spread and plow with an international 1466 turbo, awesome tractor, i still love the international 660 turbo a little better but i still like the old farmalls. my first tractor i ever got to use was a 1952 farmall H, it was sweet!! we also have a john deere gator which is a piece of manure lol

[bbechtel16]

Haha, gator.... Yeah they are funny machines.

My dad says the harder you run them the less problems, I guess why they run pretty good for us over at Lake Tobias, (think high school summer employment, they get beat).

I gotta agree. We've got 2 John Deere Model "M"s from the late 40's/early 50's. My grandfather and great grandfather bought one of them new and one of them used. Both run great although one of them hasn't been driven in probably about 9 months or so due to a bad (as in the wheel's about to fall off) front wheel bearing, but it still fires right up and runs. Both are unrestored and I know they haven't had anything done to them besides oil/spark plugs/tires since my grandfather died in 87, but still run great. We're actually members of the two-cylinder club and get a magazine every other month, I think we started that when I was 5 and was really into tractors. We must have gotten a life-time membership or something.

ALL older tractors kick @$$, but i still hjave to say international is the toughest longest lasting tractor out there.

[Jonathan]

I don't know about that, I see more older John Deeres than I do older Internationals, I do see alot of Farmalls though, International is a close second.
