I really don't have a lot of time to tinker around with anything extra at this time. I want something I can buy and use and, other than regular maintenance, require no additional attention for a while.
Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy tinkering and doing mechanic work and would love to buy an old tractor and fix it up, but I just don't have the time right now. With two toddlers and a third due in a couple weeks, I'd rather spend my spare time with my family than fixing my tools.
It's also the reason why I'm thinking of opting to spend more on a 2000 series and not the 1000.... I certainly don't need that big of a machine; it just seems like it will have a better longevity and have less issues in the long run. And, according to everyone here, the new Cubs are so crappy that they need all the help they can get. LOL
