  That's a bit smaller than the Lamborghini on Dad's orchard.  It's kind of
like driving an old, stubborn horse.  Two brakes, two steering clutches
on levers and a main clutch lever, then a PTO, Hi/Low and 4 speed/reverse
shift lever, and an e-brake.  Lot's of levers plus the throttle.  Fun to
drive
though.  Only problem is the blade's about the right size for a D4.  Too
wide, tall, and heavy for the weight, power and clutch in it.  They picked
up a Hesston with a steering joy stick and lots of hydraulic levers.
Considerably heavier but not all that much bigger.  I think it's a Fiat
diesel
in that one.  It has the exact same blade only in a 6 way format.  Still too
big but not quite so obvious.  Kind of fun telling people we have a diesel
Lamborghini!  ;-)
