I ranch on 1800 acres, i work with old(er) machinery.

I rather buy an extra tractor for cheap and fix it up if need be than buy new.

I have a different tractor hooked up to every piece of machinery i need to use with the task at hand

That puts less hours on each tractor every year and if one happens to break down that i can't fix in a hurry i can grab another one hook it up and be back in business within the hour..

I own six 80-105 hp diesel tractors and all of them combined are less than half the price of 1 new one.

All these tractors but one has less than 7000 hrs on them.

Same with vehicles.

I have 5 different pickup trucks from 89 to 07, all of them diesels, all in running order. I'm never been stuck yet without wheels when one of them has an issue.

Total money layout on the lot just over twenty grand.

And I don't owe a buck on either truck or tractor ;)
