I've been thinking of trading my NH TN60A for a NH T4.75 or a John Deere 5075E. I've heard from two New Holland dealers. One offered me 12,000 and one 10,000. I haven't heard from the Deere dealer yet. My tractor has 4600 hours on it, a Woods loader and needs front tires. It's mechanically sound however.
Am I way off base or are these offers insulting? I was looking at upgrading my Ford 3600 this summer and 40-60 hp 2WD tractors with no loaders from the late 90's were in the 10-13k range. I just have a hard time believing my tractor is worth that little. Feel free to set me straight.
With these new tractors costing over 40k I'm inclined to run mine as long as humanly possible. A rebuild of something sounds pretty cheap compared to 30k in payments.
