What would you do? Sell or keep?

So does that mean you"re keeping your tractor or still deciding?

Yep I think I'll keep it... especially with the overwhelming response. The only reason I was considering selling was to get the GST trans and lower hours. But like has been said I have had it since it had 0.7 hours on it. And I've done all the service myself. And it is done right. So that's real important. Plus I'm attached to it... yeah it's a tractor... but I still get attached to tools that serve me well and I can depend on no matter what.

Thank you for all the feedback! It's always wonderful to have a great team help ya decide something!

I think the issues with the Grand L series are the hardest on people around here, you have so many choices to make! You have big loaders or small ones FST, GST or HST transmissions and 31-50 HP. But the biggest thing is after having an old Massey MF35 I think the features for operator comfort and utility make them a good value and still think the value is better then the standard L's if you use the tractor for any amount of work on a regular basis. Have second thoughts also maybe to go from GST to HST or HST+ with 40 series and sometimes more HP, but it does not make economical sense unless your machine is making you money everyday and it will do things better and quicker.

Papa, I'm glad you came to your senses. The risk and leverage you would have exposed yourself to for a marginal gain was (shuddder) ... large.

Thank you for the advice. I wanted to get some opinions on the situation before I made a decision. It was an interesting deal but selling the old machine had me worried.
