Hubbyand I went and looked at a tractor tonight near here, good deal, had them start it up, pull it out and put it through it's paces, hubby checked the transmission and engine oil, all good. Were able to get it for $500 less than asking because one of the tires ($400 each) needs replacing. Hubby is doing to drive it home tomorrow night. Now we'll be able to keep the arena footing good, knock down weeds and maintain our dirt road! 2 mo. ago, I had someone do the arena and road for $600 and it rained 2 days later and that was that....... this will be much better
