| That big open platform is nice. Mine got taken off planter duty and only sees the batwing now. |

| After the paint job it became a parade tractor for a few years. It got to the point every time I wanted to play with it the battery was junk or the fuel going bad. It got a fuel system over haul and since then it's became just another farm tractor earning it's keep. |

Looks like a 3940 or 3950 forage harvester how are you working the hydraulic controls we ran a 3940 forage harvester for several years they’re good choppers |

| Im just pulling the lever and then making the adjustments as needed. It's a 3950. Im more of a new holland hay/forage guy but this chopper was cheap and close to home! |

ToddnwIL, chopper should be a great workout for your AC 220. Bet it’s 426 sings with that load…? Thanks for sharing. Perfectly painted up Parade queens look nice. But I’d much rather operate a great running workhorse. |
