After deciding this farm needed a shake up, my tractor situation has been quite fluid. The Valtra, and the Fendt 930 TMS have left the farm, a Fendt 900 Favorit showed up for a bit, and I settled on the 9R for a while, which I liked, but it doesn't have a 3-point on the back. I then figured out that an XML edit would mostly fix the 9R for CoursePlay. Also, while the Steyr is fine, and a solid tractor, its place isn't yet secure, and it may end up leaving for a MF 7700S (or whatever else in the 280-350HP range catches my eye).

I did briefly consider the 8RT, but it dropped out of contention quickly. 1) Given my methods and equipment, I wanted a 500HP tractor, and 2) To my eyes it's a terrible looking tractor. Given how much I've come to enjoy using the 9RT though, I may give the 8RT a chance to win me over when I eventually head back to my Midwest Horizon farm.
The 9R feels a bit too big for my farm, but it does its job, and looks really good. I'm still tempted to get the 9RT back though, and change my implements to make it viable, but I'm definitely missing my Xerion.
