We Talk Everything from a 1,600 HP Chinese Tractor to John Deere vs. Kinze! | Tractor Therapy Ep17
Shownotes
What happens when you work at an equipment dealership all day and plant corn all night? Apparently, sometimes you fall asleep in the field!
In this episode of Tractor Therapy Podcast, we sit down with Duane to hear some entertaining stories from his days as a custom corn planter, including operating a John Deere 4240 with a Kinze planter, long nights in the field, and the challenges of getting the crop planted.
We also dig into the history of Kinze Manufacturing and its David-versus-Goliath battle with John Deere.
Here's what else we're talking about:
Election and agriculture: How could the recent election affect American farmers and the equipment industry?
1,600-horsepower tractor: A Chinese company's massive diesel-electric tractor.
John Deere parts warranty: Deere doubles its parts warranty from one year to two.
Autonomous farming: Would autonomous tractors work in Western Washington? Would they work in your area?
John Deere dealerships: Big dealerships keep getting bigger. What does that mean for farmers and independent equipment dealers?
Auction day: Did Duane buy any equipment, and what's happening in the used equipment market?
JCB 3TS-8T VetsAid Edition: How Scholten's Equipment managed to get three of these special-edition telescopic skid steers.
Iowa farmland: With land for sale in Iowa, could Duane be heading back to his farming roots?
From old-school corn planting adventures to the future of autonomous agriculture, we're covering a little bit of everything this week!
