[Farmall] Selling the Farm and moving tractors & Tools

[Ethridge, David E]

Been there, done that. My wife left after 25 years. I thought it was us
guys that had a  mid-life crisis ! Keep your chin up and keep going. I
kept the farm and all related equipment. The farm was orignaly my
grandparents. I was lucky in that aspect. Still single after 5 years and
planning to stay that way!!! David

Travis,
Sorry to here about your situation but welcome to the HALF Club; I see
the new definition of half you are being taught is similar to mine.
January must have been a bad month since that's when filing began for
me.  After much contemplation, I've decided the easiest way to move
tractors and projects is to turn them into cash through public auction
and start over. It wasn't what I wanted but seems to be the only logical
answer. I shooting for around Thanksgiving but that is subject to change
since I'm finding out I'm in control of absolutely nothing.
