Hi Jim I think you have taken what I said to far I know Bryce is not that old I know he hasn't got $80.000 to spend or 500 acres. Yes I spent $37.000 on my Valtra it earns that with what I do with it the worn out equivalant JD was 60-$70 000 here I simply could not carry on with a $5000 Belarus any more as a main tractor . For Bryce he wouldn't have to spend huge money to buy that 695 or even the older 574 version of that tractor, or even something else. When he's 50 and bounced around on this old iron for fun and a bit of money, he might regret not having something a little better. I'm 41 and wish I had newer better stuff before the Valtra 3 years ago, my backs suffering already. It makes the working day much better and more productive to. Bryce also wants to do custom work, I tried that with older stuff, Guys want an image of confidence in this area and that you are not running old junk and going to let them down. I couldn't get any outside work running a Belarus and older round baler. That Valtra and the NH 688 got me custom baling this year that I didn't go begging for. The guy told me that old outfit wasn't ever coming on his land, even although I was a better operator than the guys he was using, with $250.000 equipment. Just saying in some situations newer can be productive in more than one way, By all means use the older as well but you got to think future to. Nows the time to do it as guys are starting to want the good 80's/90/s tractors again for the simpler jobs as they don't like the newer computer emissions stuff, huge repair bills and unreliability built in from new . I see good older tractors going up in price quickly as guys want them and will pay for not having all the problems newer ones do, a guys got to make a decision and jump in sometime, its called evolution or progress. Regards Robert
