Buying Advice How many kept their old tractor when upgrading to something larger?

docsfarm · Jun 5, 2017

The only reason I might sell my 50HP tractor when/if I upgrade is because it is kind of a tweener...
I might buy a 70HP, sell the 50 and buy a 30HP for my second tractor.
But I really see the advantage of two tractors. Maybe if that time comes, I'll see the advantage of 3 tractors!

To update:

I have my tractor up for sale, but my wife turned to me last night and said, "just buy the bigger tractor. If the other sells, great, if not, we will just have two." Plus she said to get whatever implements we need for the bigger one, lol. That's why I love her.

The 3510 has a factory BH that stays on 90% of the time. Use it often, more than big tractor hour wise.
Traded the 5500 to the dealer purchased from getting same as I paid for on trade for the 8560 Cab. Why?
Do you really like have the wind blow through your hair, sounds of nature everywhere requiring earplugs AND headphones?
Not me!!
Besides, wife has never made a tractor payment but gets a new car every 4-5 years 'just cause'!
Did not ask, just did- cause I wanted!!??

Nice! Wish we were all so lucky.
