[AT] Three point hitches and Dean's commentary

[Michael Miller]

Bigdog,
   What would the fun be in that :-)  The way I see it, I can take my $1000 
M, put on a 600$ hitch, $150 worth of valving, another $20 in hoseing, and 
still have a tractor worth, oh, roughly $1100 :-)  I hate to sound like a 
green undies guy but RESALE RESALE RESALE...  If I can get the 70 cheap 
enough, spend $600 to put electric start on it, and then have a usable 
tractor, larger than anything I have, with PS, 3 pt, live pto, etc. then I 
might think about it.  However, I am afraid this fellow is going to want 
more for it than I'll pay for a green tractor.


Mike
