This one was a hard one, let me tell you! I mean come one, it's about a $40k decision and I cannot afford to make the wrong one. So what did I choose?

I had to look at my business holistically in order to make this decision. Weighing not only my finances and cash flow, but also what I needed the machine for and what I expected it to do. Is it going to return as much value to the farm as it costs?

I ended up choosing to buy new and finance it for the reasons I explain in the video.

I went with a Mahindra 5570 4WD Shuttle
