I believe Karl started this forum in a sincere attempt to help those with the addiction. Before he knew it, he discovered it was like throwing a BYOB AA gathering. It becaams quite clear just how great Red Square was for those who really needed the help.

As I am reading the thread laughing, my honest-to-goodness next thought was, "Ooh, I haven't checked the classifieds in a couple hours...*click*"

For the past year I have been trying to decide how many and which ones of may horses I am going to let go . During this time I have occurred two more .

I hear ya!  In my many daily CL searches, I ran across a snow blower and a cab for 300, 400, and 500 series.  I don't really have a need for those, since Missouri isn't snow mega capital of the US, but.........

I know all about that! As I have posted, I ended up with a snow blower for my XI. It is only needed  maybe once every 5-10 years round these parts, but by golly I will have it when the time comes... (and it may take me that long to get it finished...) I got it for a price I couldn't pass up!

That makes two of us!!!

 

If T-Mo could be persuaded, I'm thinking that there could be a logo for us:

 

"One Horse" Club or, a fancier version could be "Uni-Horse" Club...Dedicated to the notion that one horse really can do it all...

[Stormin 9,981]

You can't use the name, Uni Horse. That is another tractor.

First, you justify the addiction. With me, it was having rental properties here and there and just wanting to have a basic mower at each location. i bought a raider 10 and the soothing thump of the  Cast iron Kohler reminded me of mowing with the 1963 Cadet as a child. My newer Horse is now at the rental and the raider is what I use at home.

 Then you buy another one just to get some parts for the first one because it is cheaper that way. Then you get another to make Two good Horses out of three. Now you are short on decks, so you find two that you can tinker on and use and that little short hood is thrown in the two deck deal for an additional $25.

 

 So then you think that little short hood Hydro 1075  will never mow because of no mower mounts or pulleys and no engine. Then you think, sure would be nice to have a purpose built sprayer and out comes the $99.00 Harbor Freight engine. i am now building the front mount sprayer that will quickly detach so the tractor can be a wagon puller as well. i mean, it is not your fault that the hydro still works when all you bought that [roller] tractor for was the nice wheels---or is it??

 

 When you start finding extra things to do for the spare ones you buy,you are gone and might as well admit it.................

 All I can say whether you have one or many, the  collecting bug is easy to catch...

Joined this group May 25 last year with 

one  now I have 5.  Now to be completely honest number 6 is on the horizon...... 

[WHX?? 48,586]

Just say NO Tigs.... look out for that rolling pin......holy schmidt she's got out the cast skillet and it ain't breakfast time!

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,494]

Here are a few things I'm looking at obtaining.  I don't need any of these, but when has that stopped any of us.

 

A C-161 Twin Automatic, a cab and a 42 inch snow blower.  Cab and snow blower are from the same seller, the C-161 Twin is from a different guy.  Do I need these, not really, but........

Anyone ever watch The Price is Right?

My under thinking brain always tells me .. gee the ags are worth that alone or man that cab is in decent shape, can't buy that for the price of the whole tractor, I don't need the blower but the tractor comes with it! Lots of parts there for my other tractors, those wheel weights are rare.... the list...excuses is endless!

Just last week. A trip to Missouri for a loader and came back with a tractor, 3-point blade and a deck to boot....

Too my astonishment...No questions. I must have worn her down! 6 in the shop and 2 I restored for my kids in the last year. 

 

I hated to see them go, but I needed the space!

The tractors, well and the kids. I still get to visit em all, but don't have to feed any of em. I will still be called on for servicing the tractors, I'm sure. But that's okay too!

[ohiofarmer 3,265]

 Still regretting i let the big 16 go. It was a nice tractor and it had a nice deck and push blade all for 500. Sell off that blade and the single stage that was a gift to me and ....           [heading to the funny farm]

 

Sorry, just went a little nuts thinking about it
