With real sadness, I placed my John Deere tractor up for sale on Craig’s List today. I need to start making room for the new BMW when it arrives. I purchased it when Kyle was born and it has been a reliable workhorse that has never let me down.  Since moving to Concord (11 years ago) it has remained largely idle as we employ a lawn service to mow the lawn.  I had a half dozen inquiries within hours of the listing going active.  John Deere tractors of this vintage were made to much higher standards than the current ones and even those stand a cut above the competition.
