friend did not get the loader tractor... personally, i think he got gun shy...there was that deere 2840 (? 70hp 40-series) w/ fairly low hours and a loader seperate from it...said he felt that $7500 together would be a good price...tractor went first for around $5100 or so...he did not bid...loader went next for $1100 so would have been $6200 or so for the pair...which is a helluva deal...the tractor was in great shape, real smooth running, everything looked real nice...but he was going to look at a massey 285 in the altamont area ( i think...its been on craigslist) -tractor w/ loader, 3k hours, $7500... i am a massey guy and love the 200 series...our 265 is a nice running, easy to use machine...can't beat it... but i think he is nuts for passing on that deere to look at the massey - lower hours, newer machine, plus the tractor never had the loader on it (though it was set up for it) which means less front-end wear etc... but someone can only spend what they want to spend on what they are comfortable spending... we did well in the morning...got some odds and ends and tools nice and cheap...jim was in a real good mood...threw out about 50 pocket knives as a christmas gift... the canadian female auctioneer was in rare form too...she has a good sense of humor
brought another friend...looking for a backhoe to toy around with at home...he picked up a case310 with an aftermarket backhoe attached (probably late 40's...overall, from a distance, it looked like hell but the backhoe was actually in real nice shape ...hoses and cylinders very nice...ran great, plenty of power for a 30ish horse machine...he got that for $3k and was very pleased... he got it home last week...and has been playing with it...
those metal haywagons in the pics...all steel decking...fairly HD...but not brand=new pequa's or anything ... went for $2600 or so...out of my league...
anyway, happy holidays and new years...hopefully the weather...though cold...stays uneventful.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
