Baylee: While I agree with much of what you are saying, I guess I tend to be a bit cautious giving out advice to guys buying tractors. One is never absolutely sure of the guys ability to spot problems. Then as you pointed out we just never know for sure whether the guy is operating on a shoe string financially or can afford to start the morning fire with $20. bills. There is also quite a range in between the two.

I'm not suggesting he try to do his bush hogging with a Super A. They are quite a little tractor but you got to draw the line when it comes to PTO work. I was just merely pointing out that even parked these tractors are not trouble free.

I also suspect that large chassis 06, 56, 66 and 86 series tractors are far more plentiful where you come from than around here. Oh we had them once, but when the Canadian dollar was about .65 US, just about every decent Farmall or Deere for sale went state side. That went on for about 20 years. They were also selling new ones here for about 25% less than in the US. using a common dollar. I know a dairy farmer bought a new CaseIH around 1992. Two years later he decided to get out of the dairy business. At his auction that tractor brought $2,000. more than he paid for it new and the buyer was American.

You may think I was a bit personal, however I think it was important he see all sides of the argument. As a group I think we suceeded. By the way the tractors are moving north this past year.
