It's kinda funny. Out of all the field work tasked I have my favorite is tedding on the old open station kubota. Sitting on the tractor with my headphones on enjoying the sun. That being said. #2 is plowing in spring with the satelite radio on.

Round baling is probably my favorite. I use our old Allis Chalmers 190xt it has a turbocharged inline 6 cylinder diesel. When it is under load it really likes to smoke! !! And considering the exhaust is a 3 inch straight pipe attached directly to the turbo, it sounds great too

wow. You don't see many allis's in regular use around here. I have a 80 something or another 8010. It's gone from the main field tractor to only raking and now it's just used for the generator when the power goes out. I should just sell it but it doesn't owe me anything. I do enjoy baling but the beeper sure gets annoying . Especially on first cut when the damn thing spits out a bale every minute

For three generations my family has used almost exclusively Allis.... Unfortunately we dont have as new as the eighty series. I would love to find an 4wd eighty series for a good price!!!!!

There not that easy to find. I saw one in a ritchie auction last year. I don't know what it went for though. Mines 2wd. It rides like a bull and I find it rated power is a little to be desired. My father in law spent 8k on the motor 3 years ago and it seems to start a little easier but it still doesn't hold a candle to my same rated power case. It still serves it purpose though.
