Benny I saw that one ,some guy traded it in on a grain truck and Randy repainted it and put new tires on it. Has about 4000 hrs on it. No Tim, I bought to many other toys last week. IG ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |

If that is original paint, someone did a good job of taking care of that thing. I doubt if there are too many around with nice paint like that especially the cab. I wonder for that money if it will be parked in a shed permanatley. |

Scott it was the nices original 8000 series I have ever saw. The paint on the cab usually was faded before they left the lot new. This one was as bright as the fiberglass hoods.1217 hrs,I would say it never sat outside when not in use.

That is sharp and I wonder if it will remain as a collector or get put to work, my guess would be put to work since most who want a 150 horse tractor for that money and hours would rather have that than a RT150 with equivalent hrs, or at least I would instead of all that fancy crap with sensors everywhere.

In terms of performance and reliability against other tractors of the time, the 8050 FWD was probably the best tractor AC ever built.

| ILgleaner, thanks for sharing the 8050 pictures. Wow, that is impressive for a 27 year old 1984 machine! With the fwd, would this 8050's field pulling power match that of a later black series stock 7060? |

Also remember reading in Swinford's book how the 6080 FWA out performed the 7000 because of the traction difference. |

I'd bet that an 8050 FWD would about keep up pretty close to a 7080. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |
