    Dealer called today and looks like I'll be waiting a while to get my tractor in thanks to "supply chain issues." Only thing I'm nervous about is possible long term issues with the DPF. I wonder if there's a way to delete it after the warranty period.

    For purposes of retirement planning, about what do these tractors with rotary cutters, box blade, etc. run?

    The picture I posted of the BadBoy on a trailer was around $45k if I recall. Loader, backhoe, shredder, box blade, front remote (don't have it yet but it's paid for) and trailer.

    Used is great option.
    Often, people buy new and find out they went too small or too big.

    The current market is like pickups though.
    Overpriced and not much inventory.

    I'd budget 50k and try to stay around 35k.

    I'll bet there is. DPF deletes are pretty popular with anyone who runs a diesel that came with them. Stupid that off-road equipment has that bullshit on it...

    That has not been my experience. Often times slightly used compact tractors go for pretty much the same price as new. Now pre Tier IV emissions models can go fir more than new.

    Checked on my cameras, refilled a couple of feeders and decided to sit in the stand for a bit. It's still a bit warm, eagerly awaiting for temps to drop.

    I've still been scouring craigslist and FB marketplace looking for implements and materials to start building a shed for the Bobcat tractor thats still on order. Came across a guy that had a Ford 3000 tractor for sale with a 6ft bush hog and heavy duty box blade for a very good price. I was able to pick it up for what my Bobcat Tractor implements cost me. The tractor runs and everything is operational, but it leaks oil and hydraulic fluid like a sieve so I have another project on my hands.

    Hauled it to Burkeville yesterday and ran the box blade over a rutted up road to the campsite and it made a big difference. My third time running a tractor and my first time running a box blade. I have a lot to learn. I already starting ordering parts to get the Ford fixed up. Will update on the progress
