John Deere 3050 salis past 22,000 hours

摘要

Most tractors with hour counts into five figures could expect a demotion from frontline tasks and possibly a chilled retirement, but Jack Reed's John Deere 3050 still rums in a daily double shift on a mixer wagon.It is up there with the busiest tractors on the farm - based in Southleigh, near Colyton - which is remarkable given there are four considerably younger models. The 3050, which has clocked up more than 22,000 hours, is the ideal machine for the steady job of dolloping rations to the 240-head Holstein herd.
