several years ago, i took out a separate insurance policy on my tractor, because my insurance rep said it was not covered when i was hauling it around: BUT, as long as it was on my place, it was covered by my homeowners policy: well i don't plan on hauling the tractor anymore, so i was going to...

6 year old, B7510, with fel an brush hog,hst, 175 hours, went for $10,901 just now on ebay: i guess i am just to tight: when you get that close to the price of a new one, an theres 0% interest involved: i go with the new one rather than have to lay out the whole 10.9K all at one whack. heehaw
