Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

James, pay attention to Blain Plunkett's offer here.

I sold my same vintage 933 but a lot more hours for more and the buyer shipped it to Peru. Tough old tractors that'll get the job done.

My choice was to go to rubbertire, now running a 944 with 4 in 1 which will do everything I ask. I'm not surprised at the quotes you've gotten.

One estimate I gave for $4400 but recommended the guy call someone with a larger crawler. He told me my recommendation had already been there and wanted $20k for the same job. I about fell over. Working by the hour, I completed the driveway for $3300. He gave me a $1000 bonus.

Then had the major job of creating his house site. Which is my business plan: buy a tractor and then let a client pay for it. My 944 is far from worn out, and owes me nothing. Here, large rubbertire loaders are much cheaper than crawlers.

This is what a smaller 933 easily handled. Plenty of power. But like everybody said, know your undercarriage before purchase. Second photo was a rock that was too large for my 933, required the 944 hydraulics to budge it.

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you. I can think of a few common, ordinary sounds in my daily life, too. ... [Read Article]
