New Holland T9 700 vs His Father's John Deere 9R — The Auction That Ended a 40 Year Loyalty

A third-generation Montana wheat farmer walks into a spring auction with one goal: buy a John Deere 9520R and keep the family legacy alive. His father expects it. His grandfather's memory demands it. Forty years of green iron says that's how Carrigans farm. But when the 9520R sells for $305,000—$45,000 over budget—and a New Holland T9.700 with 682 horsepower rolls onto the block at $240,000, the spreadsheet wins over sentiment. He buys the New Holland. His father walks out of the auction barn without a word. Six months of silence follow. Then planting season hits. The T9 covers 280 acres in one day. It pulls through mud that would've stopped the old Deere. It finishes 800 acres in three days during a weather window that breaks half the county. And when a neighbor's 9520R goes down mid-harvest, the T9 saves his season—hauling 4,000 bushels and proving that 682 horsepower isn't just a number. By fall, two more neighbors order New Holland tractors. By winter, his father finally admits he should've made the switch decades ago. This is what happens when legacy meets economics. When pride meets performance. When forty years of tradition gets challenged by a blue tractor that just works. No regrets. No apologies. Just results.
