My best purchase would be my 2444 with loader & trencher. Got it from a dealership initially for $4K, which got knocked down to $2K. When I payed the initial amount & went to drive it home, there was no getting up the hill in 4th or 3rd. Took it back to the dealer, told him what's up & he looked a bit shocked. He beckons his sales manager over to ask about the details of the trade they took it in on. Supposed to have been a good runner & traded in on a Kubota.... something (I forget what they're called. It's like a 4 wheeler with a cab & box on it.). The sales manager didn't pick up the 2444, the delivery/drop off guy did. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He only picked it up with the trailer & dropped it off at the lot. When I found it on the lot, it was only there for a couple days. My inspection was minimal. Never thought to take it for a test drive up & down the road before I bought it. It wasn't a new Mustang. Drove it around the lot, played with the loader & trencher. That was it. So, the dealer told me he could put it through the shop & get back to me. I agreed. Got a call about a week later with some news. The fuel filters were changed out, the oil was changed, the oil filter was changed. Brakes were inspected to make sure they weren't dragging. The motor was tired. It has blowby. Parts are available. Going to be an expensive fix. They'll give me my money back or sell it to me for half price. I went for option B, but instead of getting the rest of the cash back, I got a hydraulic 3 pt boom, a fast hitch back blade, 55 gallons of Hy Tran & the remainder put on my account. Not too bad of a deal in my book. Got free delivery, too. Since then, I've done a bunch of landscaping around the yard. Took out 9 stumps that were rotted. Used the trencher to dig those out, roots & all. Used the loader to fill the holes in & move the stumps & roots to the brush pile. Filled in the low spot in the garden. Have done plenty of lifts & moved things around. Pushed a bunch of brush into piles for my uncle & loaded about 300 loads of manure. Probably a bunch more stuff that I'm forgetting. All within the last year & a half. Since I started working it, the blowby has subsided some. There isn't a river of oil flowing down the side of the hood.... & yes, I check the oil. Lol! The only money that's been put into it went to 2 belts, a thermostat & a hydraulic hose. So, no complaints here about that purchase. The hydraulic boom I got out of that deal has also been extremely handy. That tractor & loader combo also seen to be tank tough. No complaints here!!
I think my SP chopper is my worst buy. Nothing but a money pit so far & will require tons more to overhaul it ($8K - $9K) & get the rest of the machine into working order. It looks nice though. :vD

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
