[QUOTE="mml373, post: 1808283, member: 38746"] Well, for starters, have you SEEN the cost of any sizable acreage with a home in good shape on it, the past several years? The previous owners of our property neglected the house, which we're now having to gut and rebuild due to moisture/crawlspace issues. So that's why I'm not willing to have a shop built at this time. And the shop we need is larger than 24x24. It must serve a number of purposes including rehab/gym space, storage space, work space, and working space for ag-related endeavors during colder months. My builder is quoting a 40x60 at around $56k right now. 14' walls, concrete. Looks like I can store the tractor under the shed just fine till I can get the shop built. At any rate... I was quoted the following cash prices this morning for some cabbed tractors... Kioti 7320, $47k, NH WorkMaster 75, $55k, USED WorkMaster 105, $59k (new, $67k), PowerStar 110, $80k, Kioti HX115, $81k. While I was out looking, the PowerStar 110 I was looking at sold for $2k more than I was quoted due to delivery date of that machine vs another at the dealer's other lot that has a different delivery date. The PowerStar 110 units coming in/future delivery are pushing/over $100k, now. A cab is a necessity for me. Time is money and I don't have time to go through a used tractor and figure out what must be addressed. I especially don't have time for much downtime and related travel time, for repairs, either. So reliability is important and I'm willing to buy new with the expectation of reliability and the dealer service that takes care of any issues at no expense/time demand from me.
