Well, it's the end of an era. :bawling: The trusty John Deere 750 went down the road this morning.
I bought it brand new in April of 1988 right after I came home from an overseas tour in Iceland. I paid $13,500 for the tractor, a 5 foot Woods rotary mower, a 48" Howard tiller and a 375 front blade.
I wore the Woods plumb out a couple of years ago (replaced it with a new Landpride), I swapped the blade towards a 67 loader and I still have the tiller. I sold the tractor and loader for $5500. I'm pretty happy with that. Don't recall what the bare tractor cost, but I'm pretty sure $5500 is half of it and that's not bad after 27 years of use!
Now I get to twiddle my thumbs while the new one gets delivered to the dealer, assembled, serviced, Ag tires loaded and installed (it shipped with turf tires) and the rear remotes installed.
