I guess we made a decision. My wife and also partner and I sat down and made a pros/cons list. The only clear winner was the Kubota on a long term financial plan. The buy out on the JD at 5 years is $40k and the buy out at the end of 6 yrs on the bigger Kubota is $25k. That being said I'll be 44 at the end of this month and I'm not sure at this point if any of the kids will be taking over the farm or not. Lets say in 5 years we had the JD ready to go back or buy out our payments per month will go way up either because we bought it out at 40k or we let it go back and leased another one. Now on the Kubota at 23k,if we bought it out our payments would actually drop over 50/mo vs going up 200/mo to buy the Deere. So in 5 years I'll be 49 and getting close to the end of my I'm the head guy milking cows career and if we lease than buy the Kubota we'll save money if its any where's near as good as the last 8200 we ran for 15 years and the 2 other 8200's we had besides that one. Thank you all for all the knowledgeable information, it wasn't a simple clear cut decision until my wife reminded me of my age and uncertainty of the future of our farm.

Today's Featured Article - A 1937 John Deere Unstuck - by Gary Hickman. Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
