[AJD] JD 2020 Diesel

[John B]

My 2030 and 2630 are the main workhorses in our English walnut orchard. Like Greg says, they are good solid workhorses. Buy a good one and it will serve you well. By the way, Two Cylinder now says they are old enough to be collectible. Heck, I always thought they were my "new" work tractors!
