[QUOTE="JParrott, post: 1602401, member: 37914"] I'm assuming you haven't had one and used one? I haven't. My dad couldn't understand how people could spend 20k on one of the 25hp tractors with the small attachments. Then the neighbor needed to get rid of theirs to pay bills and he bought it. It came with a backhoe attachment. He now swears up and down it's been the handiest piece of equipment he's ever had besides a welder. He probably uses the thing daily. For sure it doesn't go for more than two days without being used in one way or another. For me, I don't need another truck. I need something that's convenient, cheap to maintain, saves me a ton of time, can be used for multiple small jobs, AND can get into places and do things that I couldn't do with a full size or compact truck. I [i]think[/i] one of these will save me a decent amount of time given the little that I have to spare to do farming as it is. I'm sure I'm justifying it partially because of the want factor - but I've yet to hear a farmer that has one and uses it that feels like it was money wasted or has buyers remorse. Also, I'm buying used. It'll have to be a great deal on a leftover to buy new. [/QUOTE]
