Or, do what my brother did and buy a '50s vintage Allis WD45 and fix something about every other time you use it.

Said fixing usually comes about at the most inopportune times (i.e. after a huge snowstorm).  ;)

As said earlier, figure out what you need.

Then buy the next bigger one. 

;D
I can understand Dave's thinking about the old stuff.

They run forever.

Problem is they're pretty limited in their capabilities if you're trying to run hydraulic accessories...

just like the compacts are limited if you want to do field/draft work.

I think he's suffering from a lack of what seems like good equipment available at at what seems like a reasonable price.



That and I know the old stuff runs pretty well.

I'm not in the ideal area-most what I see are lawn tractors, full size excavators, or overpriced with no implements.



If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Just get one of these. You can put different attachments on it, and they don't get stuck.



Some attachments...

It is kind of like work. The thing is a handful to say the least, but its so cool mowing stuff like that down that you forget it's work.
Need to make a trail through the brush? Just break out the DR Mower.

I wasn't being serous about it replacing a tractor but its a way cool mower. If you watch the videos or commercials of it mowing down stuff that would stop a regular mower in its tracks and thing it's fake...It's not.

The price is right.

Except it's still not up to the reserve.  The tire shine is a nice touch.

It doesn't have a loader, but they can be had.

The price is right.

I figure it's worth about $3500 with no attachments. We'll see if I win it.

It's worth that all day long.

I just noticed it is also missing some of the 3 point hitch linkage.
