I usually receive a discount card in the mail from TSC about once a month for 10% off or a $50 dollar discount for items over $500 dollars. It usually has a discount on lawn sprayers or nuts and bolts too. Last year I bought one of their 6 1/2 foot disks and got 10% off the $675 dollar price by using the card. $67 bucks was more than enough to pay for my gas. The disk is very nice and did a nice job on the garden and food plots I was planting. I also bought a lot of five gallon jugs of hydraulic oil and shell rotella T oil for our big tractors. Not to mention a lot of bags of fertilizer, nuts and bolts, and welding supplies and stuff to do painting. I bought lots of their implement enamel and hardner (very good quality) and a HVLP ingersol rand spray gun that works very nice. Not to mention a ton of stuff I bought for my 9n ford and my neighbors 8n that I did some work on. I bought several chains and links and steel strap, oil filters, trailer tires, grinding wheels, pipe fittings, bungee straps, tarps. Lots of stuff and I was glad it was there when I needed it. They don't have everything but lots of stuff I need. If I need serious parts I go to the dealer or central tractor salvage and I pay a lot for it. Most American companies operate on less than a 10% profit margin (profit). Japanese companies consider 1% acceptable as long as they are making quality and delivery and growing the business. A lot of times if you go to a store and an item is on sale for a cheap price it is being sold at cost to get you in the store to buy another item that may be more profitable for the store. I guess if you use the coupons you can do pretty good if you want to. Just don't use the Visa card because then another 10-15% will be tacked on the purchase with the interest you could end up paying. Later People

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
