Comparison All Tractors

[TheMan419]

Good god.... we have 18 acres and 4 horses so a very tiny operation. I could not imagine doing it without the tractor or hiring out all the uses of the tractor. It is nothing for me to come home from my day job and spend a an hour on the tractor at night. It is good "therapy" time for me as well. If I had to hire all that out I wouldn't have money for groceries....

120 hours on the meter. So if I could hire out those hours at $100/hr the tractor has basically paid for itself already.

A long time ago I was told that a boat was a hole in the water surrounded by wood into which one poors money! I have come to the conclusion that the same goes for tractors only make it a hole in the ground surrounded by scrap metal!! I have owned four differnt makes and believe me they are all the same period. You are better off if you want it done hire someone to do it, it will be cheaper in the long run.

I expect 70 - 80% of those posting here on TBN have generally good things to say about the equipment they own, and a handful have trouble. Sorry for those folks.

if you want problems hire some jack legs to take your money . The old saying "im better off to do it myself" still applies . cause if you depend on others you will be second or third in line and the time wasted waiting cost money too.

I have always owned tractors, boats and off road recreational machines. The tractor and implement cost or maintaining are nothing in comparison to the other 2!

The tractor is the single best tool I own, hands down!!! And I own A LOT of tools!
BOATS on the other hand...couldn't agree with you more!!! Been there...ONE and DONE for me! :laughing:

If you want to throw away your money. Buy a Big Fancy Camping Trailer, park it next to your house, then sit our on your deck and if you listen carefully, you can actually hear it depreciate!

Had a boat at one time. Gas guzzling money pit.
My tractor on the other hand is a great tool. It has more than paid for itself over the years vs rentals or hiring out.
And its available whenever I want it for years to come.
