Judging by most of the posts, it pretty much sounds to me like that 140 is pretty much what the doctor ordered, and its local. Probably a good deal if its in good shape for $3K. After I posted, went to tractordata dot com, and that 140 tips the scales at 3K pounds, is about 17 HP. Doesn't sound bad at all for 10 acres, but guess it all depends on what he plans to do with it on those 10 acres.

I hate the thought of him or anyone else running down to the dealer and leaving with the keys to something new and expensive, with payments that he didn't want or need on something that he didn't want or need either, and then hating himself for it later. Can always sell that 140, or Jubilee, or TO, or... later if he doesn't like it. Someone will always buy old iron and fix 'er up into their working tractor that is PAID FOR and willing to work.
