    Auger Stand

    I disassembled mine for indoor storage... actually, deep six, long term storage! I found that with less than a dozen holes, I can hand dig them faster than re-assembling and putting it back together. Also, when someone borrows it. It fits easier in the back of a car or truck when it's in pieces!

    Am I crazy to trade in?

    Actually, I'm surprised that within those 5 hours, no body tested out the 3 point hitch! I was lucky as my tractor had 0.1 hours (and I thought that was too low!) Side note: bought a "new" Nissan Versa in 2009, looked at the OD, 65 miles... I asked when does it becomes a "used" car??

    Cleaning driveway ditches

    I use a blower that clears out my ditches. When I rotate the drum to the other side (as shown in the photos), the opening points straight down into the ditch. In that position it blows gravel away. The position it's in the photos are set to blows leaves and sticks nicely.

    Fair Price for L3130 with LA513 loader

    Do you know what it cost in 2004? I would say it's worth about the same amount!!! If it's really clean; $17,000 (maybe a little less since it GST vs. HST). Did it have any "extras" mainly hydraulics added (remotes)? (based on that $18k in 2004 is equal to about $30k today)
