Hello Tractor Net Friends,
I've recently moved back to the Midwest and ready to buy a tractor for my 90 acres. I will do mostly hay (cut/rake/bale/haul), small field work (plowing/sowing) and digging post holes for future berry patch.
Below are my "must have" specifications. I've visited a number of dealers and searching Tractor house but I'm hoping to get some advice from you experienced folks out there. As I talk to dealers, they are saying the 40kph/24mph is not out there unless you go to new bigger tractors >100hp. But given my farming operation, I need a good road gear. Is there anyway you can tell if a used one has this option other than driving it? If you have any ideas, let me know. Also, is used my only option or are there any new tractors that would meet this and my budget. Many thanks,
HP: 65-80
Cab
MFWD
FEL
40kph/24mph
Budget: $35,000
So far I've driven MF, New Holland TL90, TN75, Case IH 80, JD 5403
