[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 7385978, member: 127792"] As I go forward, I can only expect to reduce my machinery fleet. I've always worked on the idea of big, simple luggers, pulling wide gear. It's always paid to keep control of the low draught jobs like rolling, spreading, spraying but even now on 260ac can I justify owning a set of rolls that I could turn into 10k of cash? It's questionable if I can even keep up to date with nroso on my small patch. So my policy now is not to replace. Reality is that at 150 hours a year, the old quadtrac is not going to be replaced. And even a large service or oil change is expensive per acre. But nothing as expensive as uncropped land. [/QUOTE]
