One thing about it,if you look around for something nice in a used tractor,it won't loose much value over the years. This whole idea of buying a Deere because "I know it'll hold it's value",well,they all will. Just the initial investment will be less in the first place on other brands.
I have three tractors that are in a sense,interchangable on most jobs. I've got the Oliver 1850 that I paid $5700 for twenty years ago,a White 2-105 that I gave $9000 for last year and a White 2-135 that I traded for 15 years ago,but they were asking $10,000 for that one. Add that all up and what could you get in a new one for those dollars in any brand? How long would you wait to get one fixed in peak season if it broke down? I can tell you this,I bought a new one in 1981. It needed transmission work in peak season in the spring of 91. I didn't have a backup. I had to rent one by the hour. There's a whole lot more peace of mind in knowing that all I have to do is pull a draw pin and tow something out of the way then hook something else on if I have to so I can get the job done. I make a living selling cattle,not by driving a certain new tractor.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
