Show us your farm

We want to see what you love about life on a family farm so we have started a photo group on flickr (just visit the Photo Pool link to the left). You'll need to sign up (no worries, it's free) and when you do you'll be able to see and share some great images. I just put one up where I climbed a pile of snow covered milo at an elevator in Kalvesta. And yes, It was harder than I thought. After the launch of the new tractor, I'll post a bunch of photos of the DT that we shot in December so you can get a better look at it.

Welcome Blane and Reid.

We have two new authors added to this blog. Blane Clark is a product specialist who can answer many of your technical questions about the tractor. Please understand Blane can only tell you some of the aspects of the tractor right now as the unveiling is still a few weeks away. Reid Hamre is the communication manager for the tractor. He can tell you about seeing the tractor at farm shows, in magazines and he can direct you to all types of sources for whatever questions you may have.

So fire away with your questions. We're ready to get you as excited as we are about this tractor.

Welcome to the New AGCO DT Series Discussion

The site will serve as a discussion board for the soon to be launched New AGCO DT Tractor. If you submit a question I will try my best to get it answered. I will post items of interest as I have them. Happy posting.
