Thank you for passing on your experience.
About 25-30 years ago I had a Farmall 504 2wd with loader, and it worked fairly well. That tractor was only about 40hp but it weighed almost twice as much the 5640. As I'm sure you know optimal costs about 25% more than workable. I thought about used VS new, but with 0% it would need to be a real good deal for used to be worthwhile.
Most deals like that only show up about two weeks after I buy something.
I know that sometimes
I end up spending more money while trying to save some. If I had purchased the 5640 instead of the L3240 the 4wd would have been more affordable. Now I'll have to suffer about a 3k hit, that would have been 3/5 the cost of 4wd on the 5640.
I need to look at my options some more. I would rather continue with what I have, which is workable, than spend more on something that isn't.
Worry, worry, worry, trouble, trouble, trouble........:laughing:
I do think you need a wider barn!
Thanks, Bill
