There is no money limit when it comes to an Allis. The eyes glaze, and all you can say is Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. Then the crying starts. O please mommie just one more, you'll like it, I know you will. Well, you take your chances and just maybe you will survive.

I always loved that discussion it is almost like they expect you to believe that a farmer parked a tractors because he just thought it would be good to buy a new one for a tax write off or something. ... Most farmers I know ran them till there was something so wrong with them that you just couldn't get it to do anything anymore.
