Going to be VERY hard to buy anything right at auctions. Buy out of the paper local items you can get good deals. Buy in the fall alot of times then sell in the spring. Late model low hour compact tractors have been good to me. I'm very fussy and I get one I spend alot of time going over them doing all the little things that most neglect like maintenance,adjustments. I try not to spend too much on parts just oil and filters. I want them in good to go shape as I use them some and if I'm stuck with it so be it. I usually buy something I won't mind if I get stuck with it and don't spend anymore than you can afford to loose. The last several years I have been lucky. I'm not so sure this year is going to be as good ? The last stuff I had to sell it was getting hard to sell it. Makes me wonder if this is coming to an end with the bad economy,high gas prices,and everything else sky high. Nothing wrong with getting something that needs some work on it as then it gives me something to do. But as soon as you start spending money on it that's when you can start loosing money too. I used to do ALOT of work on tractors for others. Even did it full time for many years.I worked way harder at that and never made near the money I have just playing around with and buying and selling this stuff. I say go for it ! And remember buy low and sell high ! and even if you only sell it for $1.00 over what you have in it you are still makeing money. The best things are ones you can buy right and then use on some project and then after you got done what you needed sell it for a profit.
