Just some pix I've collected to help answer the question "What the hell do you do/drive"

| Agri-Tech has about a dozen 7k series tractors, comprised of 7600, 7700, 7800, and 7810's. All are the same except for the small differences in HP, and 50% powershif transmissions, and 50% Quads. (These numbers are for the 7x10 series, I am assuming numbers for the 7x00 series are almost identical. | |||

Deluxe
19-speed Power Shift transmission gives you all the right speeds in all
the right places. Speeds as slow as 83 feet per minute for creeper work. There
are 8 speeds in the field range, from about 3 to 8 mph, while transport speeds
go as high as 24 mph. Power Shift is simple to operate. You can move through
all forward and reverse gears without clutching.
This is a picture of a Quad's console, the right most trany lever must be clutched
when shifted, however the middle (1 throught 4) and forward, park and reverse
don't need to be clutched.
8400
We just lost this tractor, but it was cool. All the controles
were mounted on the right armrest, and needed only minimal flicks of the fingers
to operate. 
4960
Older tractor than the 8400, but almost the same traction, size and power. However it is a 16 speed powershift, rather than the kewl ARM controls of the 8400. Havent found any pix yet.
8770
The big toy, over 450 HP 12 cylinder diesel. Has a hood bigger than a fullsized pickup truck.
This pic is acutally a 9k series tractor, but is the same size and style as
the 8770, JD doesnt have any pix of the older tractor on their page =-( 
20' disk
We use the 8770 for pulling a 20' wide disk. the 20' is actually comprised of 2 10" disks that are attached together, but can be seprated and used individually. The spacing between
the actual plates that comprise the tilling portion of the disk is greater than that of the 15' disk, giving it much deeper penetration into the ground (and drag).
15' disk
We used the 8400, and now the 4960 to tow this disk for the first pass of disking, to cover up the sludge. It is 5' skinnier, and gets much less penetration than the 20' disk, so we can tow it with the smaller tractor.
