    Major Haulage - John Deere's New 2027 6R Tractors

    She What?! Anne Anderson joins the podcast to talk MY27 updates for 6-series tractors, and at no point in this episode is it mentioned, even in the slightest, that she is the sister of one of the hosts of the podcast. Were we overdue for a familial episode? Absolutely. Is the 6-Series tractor lineup tap-dancing the line between utility and row-crop? Feels redundant to say 'Absolutely' again. Did Anne beat Sam up for a significant portion of their childhood? For the sake of not saying 'Absolutely" again, we'll just say 'Yes.' Order yourself the coffee that fuels our podcast!
