Not that this means much to a lot of people, but this morning my neighbor came over and wanted toknow if I could pull his truck out as he had buried it in the back yard. I said I would try, and as my John Deere 870 was sitting in front I tried with that pulling straight from the front of the truck. There was so much groundwater fron the recent storms, I almost buried it. So I went back and got the D17 Diesel, I hooked up to the rear of the truck from the side. Needless to say I never spun a tire and pulled the truck out sideways, even on level ground the truck would not do anything but spin, so I just kept pulling till I had him out in his front yard. What a fine tractor that is, maybe I need to sell the "green" guy. I will have to admit there is a big difference in horsepower and weight. I can't wait to hook up the new plow to the D17.

Good D17.. I ad my series IV gas out in about a foot of mud pulling mud away from the barn the other day. Never spun a wheel and pulling all that mud with a grader blade. They are tuff tractors.. I vote you sell the green since the orange is so Mean!
