Hey guys just wanted to say hello. I am new to the forum and look forward to making friends. Alittle about myself; I come from a farming background back west and currently reside in Virgina. I do sell construction equipment. My passion is equipment..its my "bread and butter" I feel I have alot of knowlege in certain areas. I am not here to promote any one's product or dismiss any. I like to discuss moving dirt... This first beer is on me...and thats the only beer I will buy!!! :waving

This is an AG question. Why do foreign countries, Europe for instance, have 3 point hitches on the front and rear of their tractors while US tractors just have them on the rear. A picture is worth a 1000 words so here is what I'm saying:

I think fuel prices in Europe have taken hold of the ag market, so when you put a 3 point hitch on the front you can usually do 2 tasks as once, thus burning far less fuel than going back through twice. There's my stab at it.

Hi Farmer, I grew up in eastern Wa. nothing but wheat, hops, apples, cherries and pears. My family grew the last three. Your right virginia is a beautiful state but evertime I fly back west and see the true mountains and trees I get home sick.:)

I hope they're not still in the farming business, not making a whole lot anymore. I pulled a total of 130 acres of apple orchard this year, including some of our own, sad times.
