I'm being careful not to make this sound like a for sale ad or how much is my tractor worth to make me feel good. Anyone who ones a tractor including myself believes the one they own is the best ever build or why would you buy it in the first place. It's the typical story - raised on a Farm but work at a desk. In this area of the country crops grown over the last 10 or 20 years have been houses to the point their is no longer a market for this tractor locally. A lot of folks could think of me as one of those _____ Farmers except for the fact that I actually know how to properly use and fix the equipment. I'm now faced with the fact I no longer have land to farm and tractor storage has become a problem. Wife want's it gone, new boat is out in the cold so the tractor has a nice garage to live in. And, I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons to keep it. It only really gets used 2 times a year now. I do like to fire it up and drive it out the driveway in the morning and back at night on occasion - but that's not real use. I'm now looking at my options and looking to figure out a reasonable price. I could put on of those $1 million for sale signs on it and see if some one will take it, - but we all know that the sign and tractor will most likely turn into a premanent fixture that everyone makes fun of. So with all this history what is the best way to come up with a reasnoble selling price.
