Definitely not the “sexiest” looking tractor but something tells me that would make short work of the JD 430’s at big plow days😂 Keep the ideas comin’ boys, this is a fun thread I know of an NOS small 4-cylinder Lombardini turbo diesel looking for a home if you want to make your dream a reality...jus' sayin'! As far as building the ultimate horse, it was already done for us when they introduced the 5xi series. Those things are 98% of the way there...big engines, full length frame, two speed unidrive hydro, power steering, cruise control, tight turning, fast ground speed...had they not forgotten the diff lock and the three point hitch they would have been perfect.

If I didn’t have to mortgage the ranch, I could be lured into that one I’m sure! I didnt want to mention my wife’s Dxi and derail the thread. With the exception of a Cat O hitch and rear PTO, I can’t think of anything they could’ve improved on with that machine. I’ll say it again, the xi series is one of the most underrated and unrecognized GT’s ever made. Now many of them are showing up on the used market for very inexpensive prices because people honestly don’t know what they have😉. Hopefully our community latches on to that and capitalizes on it. Everyone who has more than one horse should have one of these as a worker in their stable... just ask @shallowwatersailor One of our in house xi gurus!😉 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
