I don't understand the 'collectors model' comment. If you want to _use_ the tractor, then you don't want something that is more valuable than normal. you want a normal tractor. What would make this tractor special anyhow? Is it painted Gold? That's the only collectors model I would know about. SoS is great until it breaks. If you are a good mechanic & can tear a tranny apart & put it back together again, buy it cheap & have fun. if you take your stuff to a mechanic & pay $90 an hour, RUN away. Because they are less trusted, they sell cheaper. It comes down to a dice roll - if the tranny holds together or only needs minor adjustment for years, you did good. if it carps out in 6 months you didn't waste too much money. SoS tractors in the real world are worth less than a good 5 speed similar model, so if you are looking to pay more for it - they might be a seeing you coming..... --->Paul
