Can you rent that at AutoZone and then get your money back when finished?

I bought that tractor about 16 years ago and it's a lifesaver. I don't use it to mow or farm; I use it to move stuff:
skidding logs out of the woods -we heat with wood
moving brushLifting stuff, like jeep doors
And moving snow. In the winter I have a snow blower on the back of it. , We get 150+ " of snow and it's 200 steep yards from the house to the state road. Not shoveling that. Thus the chains.

I am trying for the ultimate cheat LO.L. Trying to write a program , so my machine will hold the paint gun and paint my car for me. Plenty big enough machine, using CAD for movement.
My BF Mill. 30' long, 12' high, 7' reach. Xj fits no sweat. Great for alignment table & measurements on geometry. Shop rat style my brothers!
