[QUOTE="ATpro, post: 8141223, member: 161873"] You can buy a more modern working machine for what you would be putting in that one. Wife worked for a Fiat Allis Dealer years ago and when I was contracting to do Prescribe Burns I would rent an FD 10 or an FD 7- 6 way blade, they both worked well at fire lane and fire control. Really liked the FD7 because it was small, easy to maneuver, and still had the power to push fire lanes. Ended up buying the FD 7, didn't have many hours on it and I had put most of them on it. One thing to think about when buying a machine is do you have enough work to justify investing the money, and what would be the resale value. When you own a machine like these it has to be in the dirt and working to help pay for the machine and maintenance. Every thing is on a time line and cost money every time the machine cranks up.
