Thanks for the loader link.. that does look like a nice one. $1500 sound reasonable if it's all there and working?

Sheesh.. everything for this tractor project is 6 hours away from here.. oh well, if you want to get what you want, you've got to go and get it...

I'm glad to hear you guys think that 656 is a good deal. If it all is as advertised, and I really have no reason to think it won't be, I'm going to be quite happy with it I beleive. Here is what I have to do with it to start:

- Put in 1500 feet of trenches for water and electrical to 5 outbuildings (still need to find a 3pt backhoe attachment for that.. any leads in that department?

-Install a new 500ft driveway and tear out the old 300 foot driveway

- regrade the ground around the house and 5 buildings

- add on a garage to the house

- redo the lean-to of the barn including drilling about 20 new postholes for the concrete support piers

- use it to haul off a whole house worth of torn out parts as we remodel

- mow 2 miles of ditch

I think if I do all that with it, it will still be worth what I paid for it when I'm finished (not that I ever plan on getting rid of it!) and I will have paid for it in saved labor and avoided rental costs... oh yeah.. and clean off the 8 foot deep snowdrift I get on the driveway every winter!
