Went wandering today; ended up dreaming

Are you going Kubota Dennis? They are nice tractors.

 

Either way my friend, you cant go wrong, you cant take it with you and no milk crate required...Go for it Savage Sir!

Think of the work you can get done...wood hoarding, brush piling and food plots for deer-OH MY!

Lets pick one out

 

Hey thats a beauty you picked up Gasifier but do me a favor and touch up that cracked paint...hate to see it peel too soon-I know chicks dig scars and its cool and all, just cover up the bare metal....Congrats on a great looking machine

 

As I recall in my Michigan travels Mahindra Dealers are quite popular.

 

Make that dream a reality and live the American Dream......massive amounts of debt!!!

 

Yep the other side of reality.

Nice looking tractors, but I like the oldies and it gives me something to tinker with.

 

Figure out what tractor you like the best. Don't buy brand "A" becasue it wsa $1,200 cheaper. Then after you know what tractor you want go to at least 3 dealers and get prices. It is amazing how much the prices between dealers can vary. On a Kubota, you can buy them all day long for 12% off the build my kubota website price. A good deal is 18% off. The same goes for John Deere.

 

Or you can spend your whole life saving your money so you can pay cash for that beautiful tractor you always dreamed of when you are much older and then possibly die earlier than you thought and your money stays behind for others to enjoy! Can't take it with you.

My wife would like it if we saved our money to pay cash for everything. If I did that, none of the major improvements to our home would have been done over 12 years ago when our first kids (twin boy and girl) were born. And then our next kid (girl) three years later. We would probably still be saving. But because I financed it, WE ALL have been able to enjoy a beautiful, comfy home for the last 12 years and the improvements are now almost paid for. Same as several machines (TLBs) I have financed over the years in order to make great progress on our home, property, and firewood addiction/enjoyment.

I am not waiting and saving all my money to enjoy it in my retirement age. I do put money into retirement every pay check and have been for 20 years now. But not as much as some. Like I tell my wife. I want to enjoy a good part of it now. While we are younger. While we are going through this great, but short life we live.

Sooooo, some times you gotta and have fun doing it!

It is a tuff call. Smarter to save and have less debt. Yes. But you also have to enjoy life now.

Anywho. Hopefully all will be paid for when I retire. Home, land and camp, vehicles, barn, and tractor. I will work 10-15 more years. And then retire and work part time when I feel like it.

At least, that's the "plan".

 

Sounds like a lot of fun in your future Dennis - hope it works well for you! There is a young welder who had a youtube channel called chucke2009. He bought a Mahindra and I remember a video he made called 'watch this before you buy a Mahindra' - I can't remember anything about it, but perhaps worth a search and see what he had to say. I'm blessed right now with a neighbor who is a great friend - lets me use his new Branson tractor whenever I need it - they are incredibly useful machines! I'm 43 now, and I've been trying to convince my wife that when I turn 50 we need to have one for ourselves - if the finances are okay - we'll see! Cheers!

 

So how is the tractor searching/comparing going Sav?

 

I thought I was bad when looking at major purchases! Sav!

You can get a lot of work done and have a lot of enjoyment doing it sooner than that! Plus you could show it off at the GTG!

 

I know. My monthly mortgage starts in March.

 

3 yrs? I'm gonna run outa popcorn! Think about it Savage Sir----bucket for rounds, pushed right up to the milk crate, pulling/skidding, forking, roads/trails--food plots for Ole Mossy/Rocking Chair Rack-the Mrs. having you sing "She Thinks My Tractors Sexy", I think we need to amp this up a bit-Its for your own good-Now lets get busy on this

 

I have the same plan without the work part... I'm still working on it though lol.
