Dealing with it on the front end is an aggravation. What you need to worry about is parts availability on the OTHER end. It's not like a pair of boots you wear out and throw away.
10 years or more from now, if you can't get parts for it, you don't have a tractor.
You have a fishing reef.
Think it can't happen? Ask the people who bought Belarus, IMT, Farm Trac, Montana, Branson or other brands.
