I don't think the Tuff-Built and other copies of the Allis G have the same value as the real thing although some of them are more user friendly as far as hydraulics and attatchments.

The price is right if you can use it in your operation. I think I would consider it if my operation was like yours.

Thanks Gary, looks like this in more "on topic" than I first thought.

I'd sure go for it. We could use another G here but don't want to spend $4,000 or so for one.

Let me no how you like operating it, there are two of them close to me. One of them have a three point on the front and back. That would be neat to put a sprayer on the front, because I used liquid fertilizer.
