Wayne, the bulk of the people that I see with new equipment are leasing. Those Deere's sure are big, sure can plow like old iron never could, and are comfortable. But farming changes with those expensive tractors and land doesn't get turned over (lay dormant to recover) like it used to. When's the last time you saw fields seperated by brush, fences, walls? Those people that can afford (sort've) that new big stuff can't afford to let an inch go uncultivated, and subsiquently there are no more wind breaks between fields and little by little, their fields are blowing down the road, literally. Give me old iron that I can afford, can repair, and keep my costs down, ANY DAY. Notice the prices of that old iron lately? Gettin to be like Harleys - right through the roof, because lots of simple folk like me cant afford that big new equipment, nor do I want to play that game, and lots of that big old "main" tractor iron is getting scarfed up by maintenance and construction companies, in leiu of paying $45K - $200K+ for new. $7K - $12K+ for a 4020 in moderate to good shape? Well, it's a bit high if you ask me, but it's repairable/servicable, and when the alternative starts out at $45K and will be in a scrap yard long before I'm dead and long before the old iron will be driving itself around the fields, well... I don't need GPS, AM/FM/Tape/CD, air conditioning (would be nice at times), refridgerator, etc. Just some of my thoughts. Mark Krzyzanowski
