Overview
Part of a personal 'Tom's Toys' series, this episode is an owner's casual walkaround of a John Deere 8440 articulated tractor he bought sight-unseen in 2010 for around $22,000. He covers the purchase story, how the tractor earned its nickname 'Bart,' its main jobs (grain cart duty, Zone Builder tillage), cab impressions, the quad-range transmission quirks, and its current semi-retired status. Best for fans of lived-in farm stories over spec-sheet comparisons.
