    Looks like you have a nice little property to tinker on down there. The 530 looks good too. There are still a lot of Johnny Poppers running around up in Iowa. One of the farmers down the road still has an A that he rakes with. Matter of fact, my local machine shop that I use for my trade claims they build just as many 2 cylinders as they do small block Chevy's. I don't know much of the 530 but was curious how light that front end gets with a large bale on. We were buying from one of neighbors but bales were 1900 lbs. Way more then we should have been lifting with my M. I was driving the length of the field steering with the brakes. Nice pretty tractors though.

    You can tell it gets a little light with our bales on the back of it. Our bales are about 800 to 900lbs...1600 sure is a large bale tho. Normally I use another tractor to put out hay but felt like using the Deere for fun. Thanks for the comment.
