I didn't mean to start a debate, I just didn't understand the survey question. I still don't. No one has explained it to me.
But, now that I see all the talk about it, I get what people are saying, but still don't understand the question.
My take on things is that a good paint job adds value to a tractor, but a bad paint job can seriously devalue a tractor. When I see any tractor that has been repainted poorly, I just shake my head...
I am not a Thoracic Surgeon. If you started having chest pains, I am not going to crack your sternum and have a look around. I also wouldn't hack a lobe off your lung if you told me it was cancerous. Now, I might have a general idea of where to cut, I know what a lung looks like, and I am pretty good at darning socks, so I could close you back up. Chances are, the person who's lung I hacked off would probably die during or shortly there-after.
So, what do most people do with paint? They say, "hey, who's gonna die if I mess it up?"
The answer to that question is me. I die a little bit inside each time I see a poorly painted tractor. The other problem with painting is that everybody is an expert. Everybody knows what they are doing, and they give advice like champs. awesome.
But I didn't mean to cause a big fuss. That's my opinion. I simply didn't understand the survey question because, in my opinion, it is a loaded question.

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
