John Deere North American Farmer

has anyone ever played this game? my local pamida had it on sale cheap today so i bought it, and man, is it one heck of an addicting game or what? the only thing is, is that i think my computer is too old for it, so the game is kinda slow, but still fun. just wondering if anyone has played it, and maybe we can get a little discussion on the game for kicks.

i'm with you guys, i can't stop, it's about as addicting as this forum is and ain't that the truth. and lovinCTD i'm also with you b/c i too grew up on a farm and i help out whenever i can, and ya it is like the real thing. i think the game simulates it pretty well, but there are a few things here and there that could be different, better, and so on and so forth...well gonna go play now, tty'alllater

My son fools around with it, I'm sure he is more interesting buying the equipment than the running the business part though.

Looks cool, I've never really messed with it myself.

Our Case IH 8920, 8940, and 2366, all have 8.3L Cummins engines.

See why I like RED now?

To each his/her own.

Yes , the 5.9 was developed as a joint venture between case IH and cummins.

It was in use up until Case IH merged with Fiat Corp , at which time they started using some different engines, They started using the 6.7 cummins at the launch of the MXU series.

Cummins engines can be found in Case IH equipment ranging from skid steers , dozers , small wheel loaders , excavators, farm tractors , combines , etc etc , they used mostly 3.9L 4 cylinder and 5.9 6 cylinder B series , as well as the 8.3 L C series , and even larger engines in the large four wheel drive tractors.

The new holland contruction line also used some cummins engines , but to what extent i am not sure.

I guess I never knew that about Cummins/Case IH because everyone around our farm is Deere lovers. I have more respect for the reds now but I gotta stick with Green (runs in the family)

Come on now, be the black sheep, make your family better by going RED... You can not go wrong like that....TRUST ME....

I mean really, the John Deeres are already GREEN with envy of the IH.
