How Far Are You Willing to Go?

March 24, 2024May 4, 2026 ~ Rick ~ Leave a comment

I have been approached recently on my insights on tractor values. I won't claim to be an expert on the topic, but I do have some advice.

We even have to guard against foul play in our recreational pursuits. I personally haven't become a victim to a scammer yet. I have witnessed an intended snare a few … Continue reading The Lengths Thieves go for a Fast Buck

MO, and even MI during the winter.  Enduring lake affect snow should demonstrate my determination. If I want a tractor I WILL go get it! Last spring, I … Continue reading The “Barn Find”

That doesn't mean I haven't clandestinely been on the hunt for interesting new tractors for purchase. I've actually acquired four tractors.
