This is an issue I dealt with 7 years ago. I had a 53 SuperH and bought a 168 Acre 1896 farm to go around it. (That is 100% true according to my wife.) I have been babying the SH for 20 years but it is really a tractor that you can work with and that is supported by my real rancher/farmer friends.

I sucked it up paid a 240 off in 2 years and now have 2 fine tractors, both work great, 1 I can set up as a spray rig all summer (the SH) and the other is there for the more mundane work.
