It doesn't help figure out who gets which tractor, but I found the 
prices written on the page rather interesting... the range of $798 to 
$2,149 for an E8 to E20 in 1974 dollars would be $2,906 to $7,825 in 
2002 dollars. Makes the pricing on new tractors (ie the "ox") look more 
reasonable, and makes any used ET price a bargain.

(based on the Consumer Price Index, as calculated by:

Enjoy the new tractors!
