Hey Dave
Just calling a spade a spade. Sorry if you were offended when your favorite concept was challenged. Common event here or at work when I pencil out the actual savings of the new diesel pickup somebody bought. They get all emotional and upset when they are shown in front of their buddies that pickup will be 8-20 years old to just break even over a gasser. Then mention they only use it as a car on the highway. At most they need a AWD mid sized vehicle that costs 1/2 as much, burns 1/2 the fuel and a small trailer. Or they could have just drove their old vehicle another 2-5 years and saved even more.
Too many new to tractor purchasers wish they had purchased something else if they "had only known". The little Fords are way over rated.They also come up for sale so often because people are looking to upgrade.
May as well tell them they could have something with a real drawbar, live pto, diff lock, diesel engine, remote hydraulics, power steering etc. For similar money to the less capable Ford 8N/9N. I even mention Massey as good value even though my blood runs green. Ever notice?
As for all the boo-hooing about fuel prices. Just how can some people figure they are so entitled upper middle class luxuries while on a lower class income? Mill jobs in your home town don"t qualify.
They cry poor but they never have, don"t know and never will do anything about it. They would rather just complain.
Surprise, the wealthy are not wealthy because they stole your money.
It"s an almost forgotten concept called delayed gratification.
Otherwise forget about the powersport equipment and drive an econobox to keep the fuel bill down.
The chipped, jacked up, big tired, crew cab 4X4 or SUV is a luxury not a necessity.
Either get a high paying income or build a prosperous business and make some investments. Dropping out of school make the 1st real difficult and the 2nd more of a challenge.
I am aware that more students who earned A"s do work for people who earned C"s in school.
And really, weasels are not all that bad.
