[AT] 4020's coming back?

[H. L. Staples]

Dave pictures are always welcome I'm sure you will know what would interest
this group.  Even though a lot of people were disappointed when Deer came
out with the new generation tractors, they probably still hold the title for
the most tractors sold of any series. Our 3020 LP Powershift that lived with
us for about 25 years had roughly 6,600 hours when we sold it this year. I
do miss the powershift, but the shuttle shift on the new Kioti works good.
