[Hay Dude]

Aren’t they ending the Challenger (car)?
They ended the Challenger tractor 2-3 years ago.

Yeah last year was the end of it. I’ve had 3 of them but I’m keeping the last one. That’ll be my forever challenger. I’ve had my 69 charger for 21 years and I have no plans of getting rid of it.

Hay Dude, your back tyres look as bad as mine. I am putting new tyres off until winter.

We do try but it's hard sometimes. Congrats on your latest acquisition. I must admit, I'm a bit envious. I really like those tractors.

That’s pretty cool how you took the picture so we can see the rear view side mirror. You’re getting talented with the camera!!!

That’s only on one side. The other is really good.
I really didn’t want to buy tires, either.

With the last few years inflation, the price will shock you.

The recent prices shock me when I want to buy a sandwich, let alone a tire

New tires installed yesterday.
We are getting close….

How much faster do your tires wear out because you drive on the road so much?

 

[Hay Dude]

We unloaded it at 5AM this morning, so pictures are kind of dark.

I’m not really sure. I don’t replace a lot of tires unless they are slashed by whacko environmentalists or vandals.
I tend to sell a tractor off before it needs tires because they are insanely expensive.

The 2 new tires I put on this one were $5,700.

Can you believe that?

 

[EddieWalker]

Have you had your tires slashed?

 

[Hay Dude]

Have you had your tires slashed?

Yes.
Know who did it, but can’t prove it.

So it has the front suspension?

How do you like it?

 

[Hay Dude]

So it has the front suspension?

Yes front suspension and 33MPH speed. Also has suspended cab and seat, of course. The seat looks to be really nice.

How do you like it?

Well, I’ve spent a grand total of about 1/2 hour looking things over.
Ask me in about 6 months!!!

I meant the ride of the front suspension.

I agree it takes time to know if something is a good purchase.

Front suspension makes a difference. You are less tired at the end of the day, and it helps control on poor roads.
