Re: Recommendations for first tractor
Mr Jackster: totally understand your dilemma. After 28 years with an aging Massey 35, thought an L4400 would do...traded it in on an MX (slightly bigger, but not much) I then arrived at the 7040. There are approx $1500 increments between the 5040-7040. I paid 29,500 for mine with a self leveler valve, hydraulic shuttle (a must) and fluid ballast in rears (highly recommend it for your needs) What sold me on the 7040 was the limited slip differential up front, not available on the 5040/6040. If you made it big in Vegas, I would actually recommend the 8540 for your land. not that much bigger and quite a bit more tractor. Know I'm partial, but I'd look at least the 7040. I have a HD 7' bush hog that fits like a glove on it.....with the MX, looked like a kid with a 80 lb backpack. let us know bb
