Don't let John Deere see that. They'll start putting one on every new tractor and up the selling price by a $100!!!:laughing: Nice job!! Can you make me one lol?

Actually, I would have been ok with buying a JD brush guard (well, maybe not after I saw the price) but other than the open frame guard that comes standard with a 305 loader, I couldn't find one. Some of the others have a "Deluxe Grille Guard" or something similar that offers much more protection--for a price, of course--but not the 3E series. I guess that's in keeping with the basic utilitarian models they were intended to be. There's no law that says a guy can't dress it up a bit, though!

Thought you'd actually hit a deer with it.

Darn bambi's are everywhere.

Except my freezer.

I never thought about it until I was watching American Pickers a few days ago. One of the things they are into are signs. They ran across a Deere sign that had either three or four legs. I don't remember which it was, but it was the rarer of the two because they were very excited about it.

I like it too, but I have never understood how they stay in business. They seem to make a couple hundres bucks a day and they have at least three emloyees and a place of business.

I also love Pawn Stars. I see how they make money.

I bet they make a lot of follow ups that are not shown on TV. In addition, I bet they get a lot of leads as to where to go to look for stuff because of the show. Finally, I suppose, the people that own the rights to the show pay that business pretty good money to tape their day to day operations. Heck, I would take a million per year to let them tape me :D Ken Sweet

Oh yeah, I get how they make coin with the show... but if they were just pickin' without a show?

You're right, they must do A LOT that is not covered by the show.

I kinda figured they don't always tell the exact (correct) amount they sell for to keep from driving up potential buying costs in the future.
