This Will Cut Grass or Plow Fields For Anyone's Property
Author: cornerfieldhobby

Waiting on PRR 8102 in Rootstown, I saw this eastbound freight with some good power, but a total of 26 brand new John Deere tractors on 9 flatcars total. Anyone want to cut some grass or plow fields?

Fine American engineering.

These may be export tractors, Deere sells a lot of equipment overseas.

The tractor in the last photo facing the camera appears to have a front 3 point hitch, that option is far more popular in Europe than North America.

Open to correction, but it is my understanding that
the only Deere equipment to move by rail is for export.

Those look a bit large for cutting my grass.  Would have to do a lot of 3-point turns.

They usually go to the Port of Baltimore for export.....

I see them quite a bit in Enola.
