We have several dealers within a 20 mile radius, but the cheapest new
tractors are the Mahindras.  Each dealer has a "used" lot, much like car
dealerships, but I generally have no clue as to what might work for me
and what is overkill for my needs.  I too, have seen plenty of old Fords
under 2 grand.

SISU! (Finnish--There is no single word in English that encompasses
all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit.  It's like "Just Do It!" & "Go for It!")
