My dad came down to pick me up from the farm and asked about the neighbours tractor he was selling. A Kubota B7100. Dad saw it and started mucking around with it, proceeded to test it in every way and after being satisfied he had completely checked it out, offered $200 lower than asking price, the seller said no and dad promptly went to the car and gave him $1000. Now dad is the haggling type, and I quickly twigged that dad was onto a bargain because he didnt muck around paying him. The tractor is a bit rough looking, but its cosmetic, as it used to tow boats, the actual tractor itself is in great condition, and they go for over $4000.

I am grateful and surprised beyond words for what dad did, not to mention everything else he is doing, but to me the most important thing is his belief in me, it means a lot because he is a 5th generation farmer and a man of no nonsense. Im feeling really fortunate and humble
