My best deals always happen to somebody else :mad:
SO TRUE!!! Usually it's the guy I'm making a deal with!!!!:mad:

Sometimes I luck out. Bought a poor running Stihl 046 Magnum for $350. Obvious not many hours or beat, etc. Just not taken care of.

Some basic maintenance, a sharp chain, and she's been screaming for 15 years.

Can buy a new one today for about $1,100.:cool:

My wife. Seriously!

Previously owned.
Late model.
Low miles.
Great shape (showroom appearance)
No damage history.
No "recurring maintenance" costs (kids)
And she had $2000 in her bank account!!!!

WHOO-HOO!!!

I "clubbed" her cave-man style and hauled her off to the Justice of the Peace 62 days after I met her. Still running strong after 34 years!

My second go at married life is with a much younger and smarter woman than the first one I had the unfortunate luck to get hitched to! ;):p:cool:

Deals on tractors and such, well I just bought a ROPS,FOPS, and Roof all for the low, low price of $1.04, way to go EBay, it's on a truck being sent to me, and should be here middle of next week. :D

Shipping was $175. I still thought it was a great deal as a new ROPS, FOPS and roof runs $500 plus shipping.

And dang it I need a place to mount some LED's on my tractor! :D

Haven't been able to find a used one for mine. All the salvage yards have altered ones they can't sell. Ones i've found on craigs list and ebay are the wrong size and style. Gonna end up having to order a new one. Course it's on the back burner. Wife decided we need a new truck :D

Now way! UH UH.:eek: You need to get ahead of this right now and put a stop to this kind of thinking on her part!!!

Next thing you know, SHE WILL WANT A NEW TRACTOR! A very slippery side slope you are approaching. Make sure the ROPS is up and seat buckle is fastened.;):D
