    Congratulations Ethan!
    That 270 has found the perfect home!
    A 4-150 was my main tillage tractor from 1980 to 2000. But I then went the Versatile route, like it sounds like your 270's previous owners.
    For that tractor to stay in it's local area and will still be earning it's keep on your farm is heaven. For it and for you.
    Yeah....I'm jealous 😊
    Congratulations

    Holy Kanootson that tractor is HUGE! 24.5-32 duals?! That tractor makes those tires look small! My dad has a Deere 700A (industrial 5020) and it has 24.5-32 tires on it and they look big. I almost bought an 1800B because I wanted it but the mechanical issues with it scared me away. I wish I would’ve gotten it. I didn’t need it but I wanted my own Oliver tractor, ya know? Im so happy you got a tractor that you’ve been dreaming of having! I hope you get a lot of good use out of it and make plenty of memories with it!

    Awesome man, its it a beautiful machine. Sometimes you just gotta make that crazy purchase for you. I did it last year and after getting over the anxiety of dropping that much on something you just want and do not need, I look back with no regrets.
    Looking forward to seeing you put her to work. And if you actually do clean it up and redo the paint you will have one of the best looking machines in your area.

    From the outside looking in, I think you did make a smart business decision. Just like you said you’re not gonna need any more horsepower and with your skill and how well you take care of your equipment that tractor will last you the rest of your life. $20,000 for a 300 hp tractor seems like a awesome deal. You could probably put another 20,000 into her and she would be cherry if not close to it and you still would have a hell of a deal. I know you justify this as something you “wanted” but it wasn’t a bad purchase. I would think it would be very hard to try and find a tractor of that quality for $20,000. Let’s say you have it for 20 years and let’s say you put another 20,000 into it that’s still only $2000 a year. Seems to me like you made a great decision.

    Awesome! Looks like a clean one tractor, dean had decals custom made for his 325, he’s probably got the info on them, but I’m sure you talked about that. And I’d like to make a correction the amount of 4-270s for sale. There were actually 4, there was one BigIron here in Nebraska that sold a week and a half ago. But it was non operational, and I had thoughts that this one was that one, but obviously not. Can’t wait to see her in the field!

BUT i wanted to treat myself to something nice for once so i bought her back as an early 30th birthday present for myself. looking forward to see the videos on this one in the future!

    Four years ago I bought a 1982 4840 Massey Ferguson. Not near as rare as your 270, but I was equally as drawn to them as you the 270. There was a long time dealer in the area and it’s easy to find guys that have worked on them. I’m the second owner. My dad thought I was nuts. Now he loves to drive it and he’s 83. I pull a heavy harrow-gator and a 30 ft reel disc with ease every summer. Sometimes a 6 shank sub tiller in the fall. I put a cab kit in it. Well worth the $300. It really cut down on the noise. The previous owner put a CaseIH air ride seat in it. A nice upgrade. Your 4-180 will seem like a ginny-popper compared to your 4-270. We had an 1805 years ago and it’s not even in the same universe as the 4840. It’s in the right hands. You are gonna love it. Can’t wait to see vids of it every year.

And he knew I was in the need for something to drive while I rehab my regular ride. Long story short met the rents and bought the truck... Otherwise I would have never got such a sweet deal.

    As long as you can actually use it- Get what you can, when you can, while you can. There are at least two 225's and one 270 north and east of Marshall MI about 12-15 miles. Haven't seen them in a year or two, but haven't driven that area much either during that time. Used to pass them almost every week. Actually seen one of those 225's working and the 270 sat parked parallel to the road about 40 yards back from it for more than a year every time we went by. Looked pretty nice from the road anyway.

    Sure outgrew the new machine shed real fast! Tillage with a 4-270 and seed with a 66. That’s awesome!

      It was to small when I built it. But I did what I could afford at the time.
