I heard "live PTO is good - you'll pay $2 grand for anything."

And there they were - new diesel tractors - around 40 horses - under
$2K new: your choice of yellow, white, red, blue etc...
Chinese, evidently.

There's been a used one for sale around here for well over two years. It's
a cute little thing.

Doubt it'll still be running like our 44 Allis and 55 Ford in as many years.

But they do go cheap.
And according to one dealer - they are simply designed but often need
a fix or two in the first fifty hours before they settle down.
And long term reliability is anybodys guess, it's true.
But there are plenty of them coming in by all accounts.

I'd go for a mini truck first, I guess....
