midwest | I felt the same as most of you guys a few years back till I purchased my first new one. To me it makes more sense to own one that is 1-3 years old and have no repairs and worries of something major happening. Also the per acre charge of owning one is fairly reasonible in my mind also, granted you guys own you whole machine for what a person trades for every three years, but you also have to sit in it for over 300 hrs a year and I have BTDT and the new sure is more enjoyable to operate. Each to his own, but just remember that LIFE IS TO SHORT and you can't take it with you! |
