Reading between the lines, most here I would say believe you paid too much. That is not necessarily true. If you are a collector or want a tractor for restoration, you might have paid less for a tractor with fewer cosmetic issues maybe. Or looked for a cheaper one so you could afford all the parts and pretties necessary to restore. But I buy a lot of equipment and I work it. If you have a medium size acreage and are farming it and you need a tractor to run a baler or pull a sprayer and do odd lighter weight jobs like those, then the factors you listed make that a pretty good deal. Decent hp, starts right up, no major leaks, easy to work on and cheap to run...that is the sort of tractor that gives a good return on your dollar. Fun to use too. I have an SMTA I paid $4K for back around 2000. Never done anything major to it and still work it on the mower, baler and rake every year. I have a 300U I paid around $2500 for several years ago and was an older "restoration". Bit of a PITA to start in the cold but it does a lot of odd jobs in summer and pulls my boom sprayer every Spring. Both were on the high side price wise but I would not give them up. Especially the SMTA. No looking back, you got a nice tractor. Enjoy it!

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
