I didn't mean to start a debate, I just didn't understand the survey question. I still don't. No one has explained it to me.
But, now that I see all the talk about it, I get what people are saying, but still don't understand the question.
My take on things is that a good paint job adds value to a tractor, but a bad paint job can seriously devalue a tractor. When I see any tractor that has been repainted poorly, I just shake my head...
I am not a Thoracic Surgeon. If you started having chest pains, I am not going to crack your sternum and have a look around. I also wouldn't hack a lobe off your lung if you told me it was cancerous. Now, I might have a general idea of where to cut, I know what a lung looks like, and I am pretty good at darning socks, so I could close you back up. Chances are, the person who's lung I hacked off would probably die during or shortly there-after.
So, what do most people do with paint? They say, "hey, who's gonna die if I mess it up?"
The answer to that question is me. I die a little bit inside each time I see a poorly painted tractor. The other problem with painting is that everybody is an expert. Everybody knows what they are doing, and they give advice like champs. awesome.
But I didn't mean to cause a big fuss. That's my opinion. I simply didn't understand the survey question because, in my opinion, it is a loaded question.
