My deal on used tractors is the crapshoot of finding one that's used vs. buying one and finding out that it's used up.

I have time to get stuff done, or work on stuff. Not both, and I hate a piece of equipment that doesn't work and makes me have to work on it, especially if some goober has half-assed previous repairs.

With the one we bought new, I have not spent any time repairing, the small amount of required time on maintenance, which leaves me plenty of time for other stuff that I really want to do, like hunt, fish, fornicate, and ride around in the side by side drinkin beer.
