Hey Rich

You asked awhile back how much the Deere 3010 cost well I finally got around to locating the paper work!

While I was at it I listed some of our other purchases !

I don't have the cost of the tractor by it's self so this is a total cost of the complete purchase.
Can't make out all the writing on the carbon copy!

Deere 45 loader
4 row rear cult
F145 4x14 semi mt plow
14' BWA < I think that's right number for the disk

$ 9763

Thanks!

And ya know... for a fella just starting out.... Those numbers still seem very high in aspect to other costs to get going.

And the sad part.... by todays standards..... they are chickenfeed.


In another 20 years it will be interesting to compare to todays prices.
