Let me start off by saying I'm as cheap as anyone on this site. And I just can't stand the thought of making payments. My newest tractor is a 1971 3020. I believe the key to all of the jobs on my farm is to use equipment that can do the job safely and comfortably. I use an M and a Farmall 450 diesel as much as I use the 3020. And I guess you could say I have a few "backups" in case one of them breaks down. Although I rarely have a breakdown.

A BTO down the road just sold out. He always ran new equipment. Rumor has it he was over $2 million in debt when he sold out. I hate to see anyone sell out, but I wonder if he could have made it with equipment that was a few years older . . .
