yeah, even out in the country people want to borrow equipment like a tractor- a TLB is even more useful... they usually don't have what's needed to transport it, and don't have the means to fix it if they break it, either... and don't realize the costs of maintaining that equipment... filters, hydraulic and engine oil, etc... last time I changed all the filters and fluids (it's a HST, so 10gallons of hydraulic fluid alone) on my 45hp Kioti it was over $300... and that's every 100 hours.. add fuel costs, and $8-15/hr is the cost just to operate it- depending on the task.... that doesn't even include wear and tear or capital cost to buy it.
