[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 635846, member: 6681"] I've got three tractors, a 1958 fordson dexta, a 1964 ford 4000, and a while back I finally bought a right sized tractor with modern technology that I thought was bells and whistles for the longest,(I am a tightwad) a kubota m 6800 4wd w/loader and 4 remotes (hyd top link and side link) , and shuttle shift, and the only add on I've done is a canopy(if I'd paid for the canopy after I'd used this summer I'd have paid twice as much gladly). I have not even cranked the other two since I got the kubota. Well I've been tryin to do everything with the kubota but it's a little large for some of the around the house stuff. So today I jump started the dexta to do a little box scraping next to the shop where the kubota just wont fit. Good googly moogly how did I drive those tractors and do so much on'em for as long as I did! I kept reachin for the shuttle shift and forgettin my gears, no power steering, And I had worked this tractor for almost 20 years! It felt like a toy under me! The dexta still runs like a top and I know I'll always have it, but boy what shock from this'n to that'n. [/QUOTE]
