I just bought a brand new tractor about three to four weeks ago, well Brand new to me that is, a 1967, 1650 Cockshutt tractor, for $6000.00 Cnd. It had an engine overhaul, with a little over 500 hours on the overhaul. When it was ouerhauled, the engine was upgraded to a 1750, putting out 80 hp. I really didn't need a tractor with that much power, or size, but the price is right. Hopeing for a real good crop this year to override the what the imputs are going to cost, and have a proffit after all the work is done. Cost ot fuel could make or break alot of farmers. If they have all New Eqwuipment, with morgatge payments to make, I don't know how they will survive. I have 4 tractors, all from the 60s, alll bought and paid for, and I know that its going to be tuff. My combine is a 1963. McCormick Deering IH 80 pulltype, and my swather is a 1973 655 MF. If I hade to hire out anything, even spraying, That cuts deep into the profits. I was taught long time ago, to make due with what you can afford, Not what you cant afford.
