IT S TOUGH
TO OUT-FARM OUR ONE-EIGHTY
THAT’S a real bold statement... but we’ve seen
j proof of it many times. Every time we take the

I is always the same. “Nevei saw a tractor that handled
Iso easily ... Sure moves out with a 4-bottom plow
for only 64 hoi sepower
The easy handling ot the One-Eighty comes from
\ ' its XT-mspned features .. . powei steering, powei

I features like these. Going Orange is Going'Great!
