I haven't bought one yet. The one I'm wanting to buy, a 2002 NH LS160, is the one I'm using. The guy I borrow it from won't take anything for the use of it, says he isn't ready to sell it yet, but use it any time I like. Problem is, I can't take it and make money with it like that...lol... I'm too honest. I do repairs to it when it needs, and keep fuel/oil/fluids in check. Soon as our house sells, I'll be writing him a check, he won't be able to say no lol...

He`s probably happy that you do the repairs and maintenance, my son is like that with the Bobcat I sold him as he doesn`t really have time or the proper knowledge to do it himself.

The "new generation" happened somewhere in '84-'85 I think. I'm still a bit "old school" in a lot of my habits.

Happy Monday mornin'all. The new generation is also very hard to train. I try to instill a good work ethic in my boy's. They both helped with the yard work yesterday. It cost me $20.00 for Kalan, to buy him a toy he wanted off E-Bay, and Jordan wants an electric guitar for his birthday. They also know that if they don't help out around the house, there's no need to live on an acreage. They love where we live. Have a great day guy's.
