Well folks. At least we went to look at a disc for the 706 to pull. The guy had it advertised for $400.00 but would negotiate. The word Negotiate means to haggle some on the asking price RIGHT??? Found the place(farm???) and drove down the road which wasn't much more then an over width alley. Drove in the turn around and there it was,in all it's radiant beauty.The fellow wanted to know if we were farmers. Told him No .I know a lot of guys have to take another outside job just to keep a farm that's not self sustaining.He agreed. cause he was spiting wood by hand (n0 splitter) and a JD.log skidder parked.Said No money in wood any more. Now the disc (like I said-in all it's radiant beauty)was in sad shape, weight pans rotted out, No Hyd cylinder,disc shot-bent- edges broke off,Loose axles.All the way around. Bearings hadn't been greased since the great flood. Son said $300.00 tops. His reply(now remember he told us he wasn't firm on the $400.00 price and we could negotiate),I thought we were being generous with the offer as the disk was a piece of S*&^t.Tires were dry rotted. Now his answer was, "he was going to keep it and use it on his garden." rather then taking less then he had it listed for $400.00. SO MUCH FOR NEGOTIATIONS! By the time he tried to hook it to his tractor?, and move it 2 feet, it would be ready for the scrapper. At that price,plus a little less money we can get an Almost like new 10 ft Spring tooth DIGGER on wheels -w- hyd cylinder for $300.00.Keep us from buying A plow,/ disc.and a 3 point set up . Guess we are learning from you guys. Thanks . Makes TIM GRAY fellow sound more like a gentleman if you asked me. I know,nobody asked me lol. Whats you guys opinion ?? Thanks again .Regards LOU.

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.
