Loaning out tractor/implements

[thatguy]

No loaning or renting equipment.

Family may get usage, but normally that means I`m helping anyway. :laughing:

Ditto, Very limited number of persons may operate my tractor/ implements and those are me, myself and I. Rarely the wife. Family usage normally it means I'm involved anyway :thumbsup:

How many actually loan tractors or equipment to friends?

Never. No way. Friends do not ask to borrow. Reciprocal friend does not loan to preserve said friendship.

If I can see a friend in need, I'll offer up to do the work.

I would have to argue this point. I've lived here for 15 years now, and my neighbor has used most everything I own.......and vice-versa..........
I have keys to his house, and he has keys to mine.
I think we have borrowed about everything from each other, except wives......LOL.
But....we trust each other.....and we know the drill as far as borrowing, and loaning.
I should also add...........He is an operator, as am I.

I believe it has all ready been said, my equipment comes with operator - ME !

I would never loan out my gear tractors. most the people i know seem to be a magnet to grinding those gears. So if the tractor is gonna be used, i come with it. Only my grandpa and i have driven it since i got the yanmar. With my implements, i will let my neighbor use most any of my implements if they are available since i have them spread throughout 3 locations. He is one of the only people that i will allow to use my implements and still know they will come back just the way they should. I have borrowed his BX24 and prior JD 4100 but not very often, just for loader work and stump removal. I always bring the bota back with a full tank of diesel and grease the FEL and Hoe. :thumbsup:

I do loan out my tools/tractor. Loans are only made to people were I get something back (gotta cover wear and tear), can cover damages without hardship, and are close and trusted friends. Which means very few people qualify.

Depends heavily on whose asking. The friend that asked to borrow the excavator to dredge his pond? sure. But only cause he runs the county road crew and is a better operator than anyone I know.

Plus when I need to move cows he's got a shiny new stock trailer. 7

HECK NO. I did borrow one of my old neighbors Mahindra with a BH and I managed to break it while digging out a stump. I got it fixed and now I borrow my friends equip (rental equipment dealer). I managed to break his stuff too but generally he lets me use it first lol. I was using his brand new RC100 ASV and I managed to bust the hydro lines twice on it with the 4n1 bucket.....
