Don't know mine has got the Mechanical four wheel drive (has electric Clutch) to engage it.

looks like it also has the gravity defying option.

Yes. My relatives farm at Lakin which is also where the feedlot pictures are taken. The Versatile with the big sweep plow is at Deerfield, the last shot is at a completely different farm owned by one of my relatives' in-laws near Syracuse. All places basically along Highway 50 between Garden City and the Colorado border.
The last shot was drilling wheat with a 40ft JD box drill. The picture was actually taken while riding on the drill. There were two outfits working in tandem drilling the same field. I thought I had more pictures to hand but it was pre digital cameras and that's all that's on Photobucket at the moment.

You could get the mechanical front axles on the 2130 and 3130, quite soon after the hydraulic was introduced. It never took off, took to much power to do nothing.

The hyd. 4 wheel assist was a disaster on hills, it got hairy very quick if you forgot to switch it off as you headed downhill, while towing.

I quite agree. It's none of our business, though!

Anyone that asks that question should be executed.

I’ll let you off, just this once. You clearly didn’t know the rules!

 

[Still Farming]

What was the original price of that new ?

Not much most likely in comparison

 

[catnick]

What was the original price of that new ?

Around £29k

 

[spider mike]

And the average house price then would be around £19 to 20,000 back then !
