[AT] New tractor

[Dan Folske]

I also wanted a little more horsepower than the 1850. The 1850 is plenty on 
dry level ground with big windrows but on the steep hills trying to run at 
7mph+ to keep the baler full and the bales weighing out close 1700 lbs or 
more the 1850 was working awfully hard.

Nice rig Dan.  I hope you enjoy it and get a lot of good service from it.

My new tractor is only 32 years old! A 5088 International is a big  jump up
from my 1850 Oliver for a baler tractor. I guess I'm getting wimpy. I used
the better cab with heat, air, and much quieter as one of my excuses for the
purchase.

I hope to haul it home tomorrow if it quits raining so the gravel isn't so
greasy. The tractor only has 3905 hours on it new tires, and new batteries.

It's a little new for this list but hopefully it will help earn money to buy
more tractors!
