I even got to test drive it, now I want one

Little out of my league though, very nice handling tractor, but then I was afraid of scratching it.

That's awesome Ken. You're gonna love it!  More versatile and more comfortable to operate than the Bolens.  AGCO Massey dealer (Simplicity too) is nearby and I've watched these fly off the lot. If I only had more acreage...

Yes We have a dealer ( Farm Depot in  Ionia Michigan ) that had a killer deal .  I could have gone for the backhoe for about $3500 more , but That would be overkill for my propety.

Tractor with loader  Was $10,600 without mower deck

Thanks Ken in MI

Geez Ken!  She's a knockout!

I had an acquintaince contact me this spring asking about a loader machine that he could do some brush mowing and tillage work with, and after all my local research, that Massey was what I pointed him toward.  Some pretty competitive pricing out there.

Some times better to ask for forgiveness after the fact, than to ask permission

Actually, I did ask her for permission this weekend...turns out she's not against it.  Just have to save up for a little longer  - cash for us, no financing.

I think I'll do that very thing.  My wife is not hands-on when it comes to my tractor hobby, but I did get her to till the garden once and she seemed to enjoy it.  And she is the one to put the Orange Spectacular on our calendar every year, so she's definitely not against feeding my tractor addiction!
