Not everyone loves their machines like we do...

This is a Deere 430 diesel with only 840 hours on the meter, that played tag with a tree. I saw this on another forum and the guy was asking if it is worth fixing. His description indicates the frame is bent, radiator was pushed into the fan and now leaks, front hydraulic hoses were damaged and leaking, front mower mounts are bent, and the tractor show obvious long term neglect from the crud in the radiator, dents, etc. To me it looks more like a 2000 hour machine, but I thought I'd get your opinions and relay them back to the guy. (He isn't the owner, it's his neighbor that trusts his opinion on OPE.

Here is another one that needs more than a little TLC. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that my machine was in this condition.
Some who cares should get out their 45 and put old "Dobbin" out of it's misery.
