The point is, I thought $3200 was a good deal since it was my only option.
Jim, while I was reading of your searches and options, I could not help but think that you DO have more options. That would be to sell your tractor as is and buy a tractor with a loader or a newer than 2004 tractor without a loader and upgrade. I think a pre-2004 tractor with a loader is likely going to sell for less than the value of your tractor and the $3500 (with shipping) you will spend to get that 7308 installed. Not only will you have to install it yourself, but you will end up with an old tractor and a new loader. That will devalue the new loader more than it will raise the value of an old tractor in my opinion. I know you like your tractor and know how it was maintained, but I think you could find another tractor with loader that had been well-maintained or a fairly new tractor without a loader and buy the 14LA as you originally intended. Just my thoughts. . . .
