Then I could sell it to someone to use either as decoration, take to tractor shows, or just put it to work. The question is, can this type of hobby support itself? Can I get my money back when I sell one, or even make money (tax free cash!)? I would like to make enough to cover the cost of one to keep for myself, since a second tractor would be handy to have around. I would also like to make enough to cover the cost of buying a trailer to haul them.
