So I goto help a former neighbor do his leaves and on the way home I see a sign that says tractor for sale. Run up my tractor since is tingling at this point and an older gent answers the door comes out and says are you the guy here about my little john deere tractor I reply yes he says you got here early how did your leaf raking go. Lol I replied he called you. yup he replied. So my old buddy john called him and said I would be by. He opened up a pack of red man and said ya wanna chew. So I took a chew we walk out open the garage door and omg it is a cab tractor a jd 3520. So I kicked the tires and spit a couple times and came home to talk to the wife and break the bad news. I can't wait to get this thing home and play in the snow this year and see that snow blower work. Oh his reason for selling a tractor with 75 hrs on it was He has a guy that does his driveway for fifty Bucks well now I do his driveway for free as part of the deal. Pics to follow when I take it to get all the fluids changed.

Ok so still working on the tractor trade in and the snow bower. Tell me how hard is it to make a call and see it one will work on another and what deals they have on 60 month terms

I guess I might be over reacting a little. Maybe he is waiting till nov 1 to see what Deals come out and then have a sit down with me about everything all at once. I just get impatient and I can't bring my tractor home because then I got to pay for all the services they did where as if I leave it there and trade it in they will absorb the cost when I get the new tractor. And they are giving me more than what I paid for it so who knows. I really want a 7 foot bush hog though
