[QUOTE="newrancher, post: 423931, member: 6263"] GOOD post jogee, I think a lot of spending is self satisfaction. Take a gate for example, a barb wire gap does the same thing as a tubular type and costs less, I know the tube type is more convenient but is it REALLY necessary for that back 40. You trade that 454 in for a duramax that gets better fuel mileage, HOW MANY MILES do you have to drive to recoup the extra cost for fuel ,interest, insurance. Instead of 40,000 for a new tractor , could you put say 5k into your old one and go for another 5yrs. I think a lot of people could bring their margins up if they if they didnt have to keep up with the jones. I am not suggesting that an equipment investment wont pay off, but I think for some its EASIER to write a check or sign on the dotted line than it is to say fix that gearbox. JMHO [/QUOTE]
