[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1465538, member: 25884"] I prefer something useful also. When I got engaged, my "present" from my fiance' was an AlisChalmers 185 tractor we had been looking at.

I can pretty much put it where I want it but it might take me 2-3 times to pull up a bit to readjust. I am also much better with the supercab truck than the crewcab; different wheelbase.
