Not sure if this has been covered before?

What machines would you buy again if they were still available. I'll start it off.

Case 51 maxxum range. Super reliable, technologically advanced when introduced over 20 years ago. Still run a 5130 and does everything I want it to, and still enjoy driving it. If I could buy a new 5150. I'd buy one tomorrow!!

I often think JD should build a limited edition 'heritage' line of tractors. I wonder how difficult it would be for them to do.
They could easily built the transmission and cab but the engine would have to meet the current emissions legislation which would be a waste of time as the engines of the day were the thing we remember most fondly.

Maybe they could skirt that somehow? Sell them as secondhand :)
Not a chance , legislation is so tight on this, even to import anything now the rules in place to be able to register in this country are emissions dependant I believe.
There were challengers impounded at the dock because the engines did not meet the required emissions regulations
