It is all about location. From Odessa/Midland to the panhandle, this is Deere country. We even have a Gator because by gosh it is a Deere. Last Case IH we had was back in the late 70's back when it was just International Harvester.
I would think by Red "Rudy" is thinking Massey Ferguson. Being a Canadian company and all.
Edit: There is a John Deere and Case IH mod for the PC. Damn these guys are hardcore, found a Minneapolis Moline mod.

My lawnmower is red but I don't use it. I pay a guy who barely speaks English to mow the yard. No need sullying my hands with outdoor work.
I pay a black guy! LOL! Supporting African-American entrepreneurship.Originally Posted by steelerfan

I love in Southeast Texas. I don't think I've ever seen a black guy (or a white guy for that matter) doing yard work.
Trump will promote all of those yard workers to his cabinet anyways, so there could be some openingsI love in Southeast Texas. I don't think I've ever seen a black guy (or a white guy for that matter) doing yard work.

Any of you XB1 owners planning on trying out the streaming capabilities to a Windows 10 device?
I might try it, but logistically have no use for it.

I may give it a try, once I have a Windows 10 device. Gonna have to start looking at ordering a new laptop. Would like a desktop, but literally no place to put it and have easy access to sit and use it right now.
Definitely not Massey Ferguson. My dad is an international man through and through. He did not like the merger with case. We always had red. Between my dad and my Opa we mainly had red. We did have one Allis Chalmers and we had a super A and C but that's different. But no green! My dad sells case ih along with kubota right now. Not quite retired at almost 67.It is all about location. From Odessa/Midland to the panhandle, this is Deere country. We even have a Gator because by gosh it is a Deere.

Interesting, most Canadians I talked to when we ran a diesel rebuild shop were Massey fans. Our Case IH dealers in the area are fairly small and probably make most of their money selling Zimmatic irrigation equipment and service. Nice guys and they even went out of their way to get custom Crimson colored drops! Boomer Sooner!
Massey is very small up here. Same with Ford. John Deere is probably 1 and IH 2 in these parts but it's a two horse race. The farms in Ontario are smaller than out west although our land is a lot more valuable. They grow pretty much nothing but wheat out west since it's too cold and too short a growing season for corn or beans.
How many bushel an acre do you get with corn down there? A good year gets 200 in SW Ontario. I imagine you guys get quite a bit more. Most guys don't irrigate here though. I know in Nebraska they do and tend to get around 230 irrc.
We grow Wheat (Perryton, Tx. is the Wheatheart of the Nation), Corn and Sorghum.
Since you asked about a couple places, I borrowed from the USDA.
Where we are (red circle) the Corn is all irrigated. I think 225 is our average but not 100% sure as I do not mess with the harvesting. We do not get enough rain here to try our luck going non-irrigated (as you can see so few counties in our area grow corn and that is because you have to have the irrigation engines and produce enough water from the wells).
On the Wheat we usually go half and half. Some years the non-irrigated becomes a place for someones cattle to graze. Some seed you have good luck with, others not so much. Every year it is a guessing game.
About the only thing I do farm related, is check the irrigation sprinklers online. Technology has come a long way. Starting, stopping, changing how much water gets put out on the fly, chemicals, etc all on a website. Now if we could get our irrigation engines online but that is not going to happen as you need to check the drippers and water production manually. Of course it helps to have custom farmers to check these things.

I did not expect that. Now let me go cleanse my eyes with sulfuric acid.
That was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. And you wonder why farmers have one of worst injury rates for an occupation.
