[AJD] John Deere Saves the Day!!!

[Bus Driver]

I am for sure a JD fan. But the weight of the R was what did the trick. If
it and the N-H weighed the same, the sled pulling return would have been
about the same. I have my 35HP import loaded with fluid and wheel weights
for working and outpulled (in the field) a 55HP which had no weights added.
But the higher HP will do more work in a day.
