His Neighbor Bought a New Fendt — He Kept His 19-Year-Old John Deere and Planted 2,100 Acres

Harold's John Deere 8320 — purchased used in 2009, now carrying 9,200 hours — develops a hydraulic issue during pre-plant tillage. The dealership gives him a repair estimate and mentions, more than once, that a tractor with those hours is a liability during planting season.
