I am looking for advice on whether to keep rebuilding my tractor or to buy something newer?
I have 1965 JD 3020 gas synchro range rated 70hp pto.
I am wanting to switch to round baling as our 30 acre field continues to yield more every year and is becoming too much work for the little amount of help we get.
My issue is the tractor pto clutch was slipping last year and the loader mounts are destroyed, two most needed parts on tractor for round baling.
I'm looking at a 1965 ish Ford 5000 8 speed with loader for $6500 CAD
Also been looking at a 1994 ish Vermeer 504i round baler for $3800 CAD.
Would those two work well together?
Any suggestions on buying new or rebuilding?
Thanks
