Used ones similar to the video seem to run $5-1000.
Agreed, but isn't the latest and greatest always most desirable since it's shiny and new? Seems to mostly be the world we live in.
Personally I loved seeing that old piece of hardware all covered in dust operating flawlessly like brand new and if I were eccentric enough to have one I would prefer one of the old ones versus one of the new ones (except for how Ted kept mentioning how it could roll over under load). The higher ratings of the newer ones tends to make me think it is less risk or the risk is better mitigated by being farther away from the action. Honestly unless you are going to rate and tune tractors for a living like Ted has done in the past, having such a machine no matter the cost borders on silly.
