Bama Binders Tractor Truisms: 1. You will never be able to get your money out of an antique tractor. 2.

Sellers that want high prices for their tractors usually have an inflated opinion of their tractors and expect others to pay more money for their pride. 10. Remember...this is supposed to be fun...BB
