 Got our new 220 home today! My son Joey and I have been looking for a clean unmolested 220 at a resonable price for many years finally found this one that was sold new in Central Illinois and lived there all its life. |

| Congrats! I saw that < 2500 hour AC tractor listed online over near Sullivan, IL. Was it originally sold by the AC dealer in Arthur (now Kuhns Equip)? |

I know Kinney Barker, original owner of Barker Implement. During their AGCO days, I bought numerous gleaner parts from him. His relative, Josh runs dealership now. It is Landoll tillage & such. |

| I got the original owners manual with it and that's how I know where it came from new, had the dealer, town and phone number along with the tractor and engine serial number in it. I looked Barkers up on the internet and was amazed they were still in business, even had the same phone number as the one in my owners manual. I can't believe they sold a whole lot of 220's I wonder if he would remember this one? |

I did an internet search & sadly found that Kenny passed away in 2015. Here's his obituary which does mention his dealership. The Josh mentioned as surviving relative, I believe, now runs the dealership. They are a very respected family of Shelby County http://shelbycountynews.net/kenneth-gene-barker-of-shelbyville-il-p27609-101.htm" rel="nofollow - http://shelbycountynews.net/kenneth-gene-barker-of-shelbyville-il-p27609-101.htm |

Josh is a grandson. There was a guy from Windsor who farmed ground(family) down around Altamont and he had the only 220 around here that I knew of.He did business with Kenny. Used to go by my house on the trip. Can't remember his name but could find out easily.Also don't remember if that one had a cab. Been a long time ago.
In case you don't know,don't let it set with bio diesel.Your pump,tank & wallet will thank you. I see it has road fuel in it and much of that is bio.....

| I remember selling them a parts 444 square baler years ago for a customer who needed the main gear box. They were making a delivery in Central Missouri and called and came by and picked it up. They used to be at the Farm progress shows in Illinois demoing Landoll tillage equip pulled by a big A-C tractor. |

| Barker's recently bought a former Case dealership in Raymond, IL. Wish they'd get their AGCO franchise back. Then I'd have an AGCO dealer nearby. |

Don't see that happening. I'm sure Josh is plenty happy being independent. He must be doing quite a lot of wheeling and dealing on used equipment of all flavors from the increase in inventory on both lots.
