In Reply to: Question for new tractor buyers--a little long... posted by Wayne on July 07, 2004 at 20:59:35:
I think people buy new equipment because they think it is better than older stuff. Why?, because of the "futureistic" styling, the bigger, flatter operators platforms, the more ergonomic controls, the wonderful improvements of operator comfort that people who work the older stuff can only dream about, and like you say, no leaks or problems with a brand new machine, that comes later after they put a few hours on the machine. Alot of people feel better buying something with a warranty, and old equipment just doesn't offer that. I have used lots of older equipment, and I like the new equipments greatly improved operator comfort, syncronized shifting, etc..., but I love the hand clutch the Allis Chalmers tractors had, and I don't think you'll find those on new tractors. I'd much rather have a hand clutch on a chore tractor than powershift. I don't believe old tractors will ever die as long as somebody keeps rebuilding them. I really can't justify the cost of new equipment unless you've got a continuous use for it.
