Hello, It has been a couple of years since my last post. I still have not pulled the trigger on a tractor purchase. I was initially looking at deere 5000 series.
I should give some background. I have 80 acres, crp trees and some old timber, creek to cross.
I have now been contemplating a smaller tractor, hopefully more affordable. Deere 4000, kubota ( I now own a zd28 mower and rtv), and cnh. Got a quote out of the blue in the mail the other day from the case dealer. Cab farmall 45, loader, 4x4 hydro for 31K financed, 29K cash. I thought this sounded like a fair price but thought I would run it by the experts. I also am a little scared of the cab. These small tractors with big cabs look like you could push them over. I did tip the rtv on its side once pulling an acreease mower in the pasture. I'm also not sure if a cab is a good idea in the woods.
The green tractors seem significantly more expensive. Thanks.
