It was a joke haa. I might be a city kid but I'm also a chef - I am all for farmers, fresh produce and etc.

I know, I was just joking with you as well. Never take me serious, nobody else does. But, I am from the land of corn and soybeans for realz.

Proof, crops are green tractors are red. Go Case IH!

I'm a farmer. We have a brand new green tractor. It's the worst tractor we own. Should have gone red.

All of our old John Deere stuff is incredible though.

Anyways, hello and welcome.

I can't for the life of me figure out how you maxed out your coilovers at that height. I'm lower than you by quite a lot and still have another 1.5" of thread left. Rokkor and raceland are the same as far as I know.

Oh well. Like I said, welcome to the party.

bushing preload, sway bar preload, etc. etc.

He could also just be talking about the shock sleeve, rather than the adjustment nut for the springs.

You have an NB? NB top hats give you an extra 1" ~ 1 1/2" drop compared to NA ones. That's why haha.

I had to post in the welcome tractor thread. Welcome! What kind of tractor do you have? lol.

Threadjack: IH tractors are part of the Case-New Holland Group which has been owned by Fiat for several years now. Yes, the Italian car company Fiat. And newer JD tractors are made primarily in Mexico, France, and Belgium, depending on model and are significantly lighter duty than anything built prior to 1996-1998. You would always do better to buy an older one in good shape and just rebuild or replace components as necessary. /threadjack

BTW, that's the first brick igloo I've ever seen!

We've got tractors from early 00s by JD that are great. Our 7405 and 7410 are both great, but we needed something with a loader and traded our 6200 in on a 7230 with a loader. It isn't a premium tractor and no one ever bothered to tell us about the chinsey support on the three point hitch, the bad hydraulic system, the mechanical brakes, poor placement of the loader control etc etc. It's definitely a step down.

We should have a tractor thread haha.

All old IH here. I don't think my family has anything made earlier than the 70s. Sad part is, my Aunt owns a Case New Holland Dealership.
