There gets to be a significant cost to having that 'other' tractor around to drag the broken one out of the way too. As I said before, I'm of the opinion that if you keep older gear in shape to work reliably, and you value your time for those repairs/maintenance, then you're about even with the payments on new. The only way I've ever gotten ahead with used is by buying older, slightly used gear that the previous owner took a major depreciation hit for on paper but didn't really depreciate (wear out) the equipment. In those situations, if you're lucky, you can buy a piece of gear cheaper and still have a lot of usefull life (good value) in it. Those rigs can work out for someone not doing a whole bunch of work... as they get the cheap purchase price without the repairs. Beyond that, as far as I'm concerned, if a machine is out working every day, buy a new one. Run it into the ground... and when somethingreally major goes wrong, mothball it and go buy another one. Part the old one out...
