Surprisingly enough, everything green aint always as expensive as one would think. Usually, not always.

Yesterday was up at the Deere guy's place pickin up some stuff, and asked what the deal was on that 4520 that'd been settin out there for a month or so. He asked me if I wanted a loader put on it, and I said no, had loaders already. Then he flipped some pages and said I could have it for either $24K or $27K. I about died. They were nice in their heyday (hay day), but this thing was about 70% on the fronts, 20% on the rears, and had been well used. Was still nice (has potential), but needs a lot of work. I told the guy I fugured was about a '70, and wasn't worth anywhere near that. He called the boss over whom cleared it up. The sales guy was talking some new or newer compact out on the lot somewhere, and I was talking about that sun faded, well worked field beef settin up by the road. The boss said not putting anymore money into it, $5K. That surprised me. They closed while I was out looking it over, but we'll be talkin again.

There are some surprises out there. Not often, but some.
