3720 OS value?

they didn't like the capitalized version so theory 1 seems more likely now

just curious, I tried to reply to Bigtiller with "
sorry, thought the signature mentioned Montana, my bad
I do appreciate the help though "
and my post needs moderator approval- why would that be?

Montana, I was there once, beautiful country, and Lake McDonald...WOW.

Have fun on your tractor shopping & update us of any new arrivals.

-Lake Mac is about 20 miles east of me (it's on the other side of some mountain so driving is 35)

I hear you on the diesel fumes. They never bothered me until about my 75th year...and then overnight I became mildly allergic to diesel exhaust. The new emission-controlled diesels are sure easier for me to live with, although like most everyone I'm not happy with the legislation or the added mechanical complexity.

Our MB Sprinter-based RV/van is probably typical of new diesels. It burns really clean. Pretty much zero fumes. I can't even smell them when standing next to it. After ten years of travel, the inside of the tailpipe looks brand new.

BTW, speaking of lake Mac and the Rv.....we traveled throughout the Pacific NW and up into Canado this Fall and were astonished at how little water was in the reservoirs and streams everywhere. I don't remember Lake Mac specifically, but all the lakes and reservoirs were way lower than I had expected to see.

We hear about Western water becoming more scarce, but I don't think that the extent of this drought has reached the public consciousness yet. It sure surprised me.

Does your tractor have vertical exhaust? if not that can make a difference not blowing exhaust back onto the operator platform. Might be worth the lesser cost vs buying a newer tractor.

Now on value, pics help however the resale market is pretty soft right now. I've been watching a 3520 locally for $15900 for the last several weeks with no movement. I've always thought of the 3x20.s to be $20k+ tractors but the market lately has said otherwise.
