Well, as of this coming Monday, possibly Friday, I will be the proud owner of *new* Farmall 55. It just came off lease with the local university and has 55 hours on it. It is a 2011 manufacture date but it was built at the end of the year. The dealer will be putting on a brand new L530 loader. It did not have a loader during the lease. The tractor looks brand new except you can tell the 3pt was used some. Best I can tell, the PTO was never even used.
I've been lurking for a tractor for several months and had decided on a new MX5100 Kubota but when I went to the dealer to discuss options and such, he said this tractor was coming off lease in a few days. Well, for less money, more tractor, same as new warranty and financing, I couldn't pass this up. I am a CaseIH man anyhow so the tractor gods worked this in my favor.
I will get some pics posted once it is delivered, and I get tired of being on it this weekend and actually come inside and get on the computer. It's hard to believe that this will happen soon. Gonna be hard to wait till it gets home.
Mike
