Poll: How many traded before finding the 'right' tractor?

I think I'm the exception around here...I went smaller! I traded in an M9000 for a L5240. The 9000 was a lot more tractor than I needed. I'm doing most of my work in the woodlot, and I'm sure the 5240 (once it's ready for me to pick up) will be much more manueverable out there. I also do about 5 acres of foodplots, and it will handle that too.

I didn't switch sizes.
I just added 2 BX1500s to my BX23.

I got my land in 1983 and bought a 8N that year. The old girl needs an engine rebuild now but I still have her. Bought and sold a Massey 85 and a Oliver cletrac in the years since then and picked up my Kioti DK35 in 05, but I won't get rid of the 8N.
