[AT] smoking/gas bottles, now O.T.

[Larry D. Goss]

NOW you're talking, Mark.  Which way would you go for it?  With a dump
bed or with a three-point?  I'm not sure I would want to have to fuss
with another Mercedes diesel engine though.  I've had my fill of those
and don't see any reason to go there again.

At the Foothills Antique Tractor Show in Hickory this year, there was a
Barber-Greene trencher parading around.  It was still in operating
condition and changed ownership for something like $800.  It was a major
macho machine.

Around here we call H2 Hummers "girlie" trucks. I think they're
over-rated.
You will see more women driving them than men around here. If I was in
the
market for a beast 4WD the H1 would be the logical choice since the H2
and
H3 are just dressed up yuppie SUV's. I'd really like to have a UNIMOG.
Now
that is a neat truck.
