I'm most curious to see if there's a pattern to ownership length among the many of you who have purchased a Kubota tractor.
Questions:
[1] When [you buy] or [did buy] a Kubota tractor, what ownership length did you hope to achieve? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? 20 years?
[2] If your ownership period was shorter than expected, why did this happen?
---tier 2---
[3] At what point do you think it makes sense to keep the tractor you own and buy a second one?
Trade-in value, at a certain time, may be less useful than keeping an older tractor to supplement your new tractor. I'm thinking that the older tractor can assume a specific task, perhaps a task that is attachment orientated, which then saves you time and/or wear and tear on your new tractor. Tlling and BH work are strenuous efforts on any tractor. Their abuse can be absorbed by an older tractor adding to the long term value of the new tractor.
