Well, Hurst I guess I look at it a little different. I would go with a tractor just a tiny bit newer that had live PTO and full time hydraulics.

Stick an ad in the local paper for mowing and discing and you could possibly come close to breaking even, depending on where you are, plus the ownership becomes a lot more meaninguf. Skipper
