[AT] New fangled tractor question

[Cecil Bearden]

My TS110 is a 2003 model.  Most guys around here have had pretty good 
service from New Holland.  The early 2000 models were just updated 
Fords.  My tractor had the hourmeter turned back or replaced and was 
about 5000 hours short..  I believe it was a mowing tractor used by a 
contractor for the state DOT.  At that time the state was contracting 
mowing the highways.  Contractors figured out they could not make any 
money after about 5 years. One governor got re-elected over retiring the 
old guys who were tractor operators.  5 years later, ODOT was buying 
tractors and mowers and hiring operators.  Just another state Boondoogle.
