The problem with an old one is you'll have to end up working on it each time
you use it.
Maybe it'd make more sense to sell yours and rent one when you need it? I can
rent a small tracked excavator for $360/day delivered. We'd talked about buying
a tractor with a backhoe but the backhoe is like $9,000 by itself...

I think I paid about 20k for it 3 years ago at 0% interest. That was for the
whole package. I see them on Craigslist at around 13-15k. As a test I put it on
yesterday at 14.5 to see what would happen and immediately had a guy wanting to
buy it today for 13k cash. I had another guy wanting to send a deposit on it
and come down from St. Louis. I then realized the other ads were the tractor
only, not the brush hog and box blade. I pulled the ad and may post it again in
a few days at a higher price. In the end I will probably keep it but it is a
lot of money tied up in something I might use a handful of times a year.
