If you really want a comparison, check the values, $$,$$$! Mundane tractors 
are expensive. I have yet to see a Rover priced as high as the price I paid 
for my 54 MGTF thirteen years ago. Of course it has appreciated nicely since 
then also. I was offered $3,000 more than I paid three weeks after I got it.
