DK 90

[Oleozz]

Mark---Have you considered an older tractor like an IH 766, 786, or 886? Lots of them out there yet, some junk but some in good shape. Check out TractorHouse.com for pricing. They also don't have all the bells and whistles but are much easier to work on than the newer ones.

My Dealer here in Newfoundland, Canada quoted me $49,450 Cdn. for the new DK 90 with the KL901 Loader last month. Though he is still waiting for one to come in so I can see one in person.

I have looked at some "older" Fords but nothing earlier than the 1990's. I'm not against them in anyway but not as familar with what's what. I have always felt that my next large tractor would be new or slightly used and then if all is going well on the farm my back up to that tractor (60 PTO hp or so) would used.

There are guys who make their living restoring old tractors. Usually they will have put in new TA's, rebuilt or reman motors, PTO's have been worked on, new paint job, and new tires. You basically have a new tractor for about half or less what a new one would cost. Prices for old iron have gone up in the past nine months but there are still bargains out there.
