Go to the GONE FARMING Mecum Tractor Auction in Davenport Iowa in November and get you a tractor cheap. Spent the last 3 Saturday mornings watching last years Auction and its crazy what 3-5K will buy. Buddy is working in Iowa spraying and he said every barn has 5-10 tractors getting restored. Nothing else to do in winter. ALDEER ROADTRIP!
I miss RFD TV for that reason. Lots of fine machines at those auctions.
