[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 405290, member: 367"] I keep saying I should take more pictures and videos but I never do, I'll try to get some this spring. You would be amazed with the simplicity of the older equipment VS new equipment, there isn't much to go wrong with an 80 year old tractor thats been used and maintained compared to what can go wrong with a modern tractor. For you, new might be the way to go if you plan to make a business out of this so you can depreciate out the equipment and make use of the tax deductions. Plus, the new stuff is available now and at your fingertips. It's taken a few years to round my equipment up but most of it came from farm auction sales and Iv'e saw some equipment go pretty darn cheap. My youngest boy was/is in your shoes. He bought some property and the owner had a newer compact JD with a cab and loader, 3 point hitch ,air con and heat and came with a snow blower (no mower) that was offered as a package deal . I suggested pass on the deal and buy a backhoe loader instead since he has plans for trenching and tree removal but In the end he decided to buy the JD. He had only had it for a couple months and a big wind storm took a tree part way down and it was leaning against another tree but might have fallen on his shop so he decided to pull it down. I wasn't there so not sure what happened but he chained it to the loader and pulled backwards and snapped the housing between engine and rear differential. I was going to help him out but one look and I knew that project was way over my head . He found a used housing for $ 1200 and hired someone to fix it , I haven't had the heart to ask him how much it cost him. [/QUOTE]
