That's still pretty strong. 25% depreciation in 21 years? I don't care how you slice it, that's good stuff.

When I bought my tractor new... there was an older model of the same tractor I bought for sale on tractorhouse. It was about 6 years old, had over 900 hours and it was selling for the same exact price I paid for mine new. It's pretty crazy... you see 10-20 year old tractors that don't sell for much less than what new ones cost. Sounds like you did good on your sale.
Have fun with the new tractor!!

Even factoring in inflation you did pretty good.
According to the internet (so it must be right
) $5,200 in 1986 would be $9,391 in today's dollars.
westegg inflation calculator
$9,391-$3,651 = $5,740 / 21 years = $273 per year - I'd say you got your money's worth...
I'm considering upgrading my 5 year old machine. I figure I may loose ~$5K in the transaction on my $18K setup. That's about $7 per hour (680) on the machine. I told my wife, if someone stole it tomorrow, We've gotten $18,000 worth of work out of it in the 5 years.

It's this way with most tractors that are 4wd and have 3pt hitches.
Dad bought a Satoh Beaver back in the early 80's Paid around $3500 for it.
Sold it with a bunch of implements in late 90's early 00's and got $5800.
HE made Money LOL
