[AT] The way they sound

[Grant Brians]

As the happy owner of both Gasoline and Diesel Oliver 77's and 88's, I am
partial to that smoothness. I do understand that each person haas slightly
different preferences though. I also am partial to our Caterpillars with
those SLOW, powerful engines. But as a person who figured out that Tinnitus
is not my friend (I've had it since my teens), I also use ear protection at
each opportunity that I can....

p.s. A brand new JD6430 sounds pretty good too, when loaded with young
nephews! LOL.

A week ago, after overcoming the shear pin issues, I finished brush hogging
the orchard meadow with the JD 620 just as daylight was fading, and I found
myself thinking "If there's a nicer sounding tractor than this, I don't know
what it would be."   Tonight, now that the ring gear issues have been (at
least temporarily) overcome, I was using the Super M to haul another trailer
load of scrubby trees and honeysuckle cleared from the side of the driveway
back to a big burning pile I'm accumulating.   Turning into the clearing
just as daylight was fading, I found myself thinking "If there's a nicer
sounding tractor than this, I don't know what it would be."

Since I'm evidently incapable of deciding whether the 620 or the Super M
sound better, I've come to the inescapable conclusion that I need an Oliver
77.
