Even if you can't afford it, buy a John Deere. It will be an investment and you will be very pleased with it. I bought a 38 HP three years ago even though we are tractor poor. I got tired of using one of the big tractors to do a small job in a tight place. It is paid for, and is now our go to tractor. It is used at least once a week and the big crabbed tractors sit until time to feed hay every three days.

I am looking now for another Deere just to bale hay with. It will not be an off brand tractor. I have no problem paying extra for something that will be here still running when I am dead and gone.


I can't stand a thief.
