[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7648314, member: 156006"] What’s the best tractor you ever owned and reason. For me it’s a challenger 765. Bought by mistake in an online auction. While browsing thru auctions listing one morning at breakfast the wife asked if I was interested in buying it as I was looking over the pictures. My comment was it would be handy to have in case our challenger 855 broke down during planting it would still run the drill. she Asked wat I thought it would make and I said probably too much but if it made less than 80 thousand I’d buy it. Little did I know that after leaving to go deliver another load of grain the wife preceded to buy the tractor for 63k. once I return she said we had another tractor i laughed but quickly my heart sant and near fell out my ar55. I called the auction company and got passed around until finally I was given the story that Ohhh that the tractor that was in Iowa the one that’s not been used for three years. To say I was having an ohh feck me moment was an understatement. So I called the owner to arrange pick up and turns out he Had had a heart attack and rented out his land but intended to go back farming but never did so he was clearing his equipment. Tractor had been in a heated workshop all the time and needed only a pair of batteries. Great tractor till this day and I’ve spent nothing in repairs. Was my lucky day [/QUOTE]
