Default Re: Fuel prices affecting tractor sales?

I've been debating buying a 2nd machine to leave on my hunting property to save on towing costs. It wouldn't be a CUT though.

Right now it costs a little over $100 to tow my tractor to my property and back and I've been doing that about 4 or 5 times a year. An 1960 - 1970 vintage 60 - 70 hp tractor in decent shape can be had for under $5,000 all the time around here and that would pay off in about 10 years at the current prices. Of course that is if there are no major repairs needed on the old tractor. It would be very nice to have the tractor there all the time though as there are times when I don't have it that I wished that I did.

Oh well, I don't really see the drop in CUT sales anytime soon either.
