Just got informed of a pilot program in Texas, where the fed's are paying way more than it's worth, for your old tractor, so you will buy a new one. Specific case was an IH 1086 that the feds took posession of. When they were done with the cash back, credits, ect, it amounted to $90,000. The tractors are smashed for the chinese. Anybody else hear of this terror?
 
I live in Texas and have not heard if this. What a tragedy to see good serviceable machines or parts tractors shipped off for scrap. Another brilliant idea brought to you by our friends at the federal government.
 
Yes I am from Texas and a buddy of mine had a nice 4020 JD and they did that but he got to keep his old tractor as long as he cut the tractor in half and put a hole in the block.
 
After a little searching... its called the TERP program. If you live in an urban county or neighboring county and fill out the paperwork you can get federal money towards a new tractor. You have to cut the frame and put a hold in the block, but you can keep it.
 
Sounds like another idea from the stupid ones that never had a real job. Cash for clunkers only raised the price on the cars the poor used to be able to afford and on the used parts for the ones they had.
 
Idiots! And we should give them he££ just because for excluding us case people. (Not that any of us want a part if it but we can use their ignorant logic against them) if the frame must be cut then we case guys are out because every case ive ever owned had no frame rails whatsoever! Besides i hate those turd brain politicians. Maybe they would have to shut it down
 
That's funny, I haven't seen that before. The old turd was one
game away from the big dance with MN. I sure wanted MN to
beat the dirty Saints. It would have drove Packer fans nuts.
Yea to bad on the parts also.
