Hello!
This is my first post. I have read these posts here 'til my eyes bled! What a fantastic resource of info....due to the posters (you!).
I own 20 acres of mountain property in VA and just had 80k board feet of lumber harvested from it. Mostly poplar, a few oak, cherry and pine, etc. Needless to say, it's a mess now.
Worst of all, I had alot of these trees near the house cut which makes it even more of a glaring eyesore.
Anyway, I need a tractor! My 'lil ole' Gravely's aren't quite up to this task. Chores to be done are quite heavy for the next while....piling brush, hauling tops, firewood, grading, road maint, etc.
After the worst is cleaned up, I may no longer want/need such a large tractor and will hopefully trade for a New Millenium Yuppie Mower (CUT) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Moving on... a local Massey dealer has an old 135 for sale on consignment. Serial # 9A-46757, power steering, Multipower, 4 cyl. Continental engine,3100 hours and what appears to be a VERY nice, newer 232 Massey loader with quick attach. See attachment.
The tractor is not pretty but doesnt appear abused. Assumptions are that it has not worn a loader until the last owner had this 232 installed. He used it on his hunting land in WVa and now his health is failing.
Salesman says no less than 7k, with it tagged at 7,400.
I'll stop there....this is turning into a novel.
Go ahead...give it to me straight.
Thanks for all replies!
