$21,500 buys which tractors

[Champy]

In that price range I just bought a brand new JD990 MFWD; R4 Tires; Rear wheel weights; 300CX loader; Grill Guard; LX5 Bush hog w/clutch & safety chains; HD Bucket upgrade w/Toothbar; rear work light too

My local dealer had a Zetor 6341 open station MFWD with 18.4 34 rears for 19,999 new. Did not see it there last week when I went by.

Zetor loaders are sturdy, my 84" bucket was $300 as I recall did not need it as I primarily use a 96" snow bucket, forks, and a fancy rock bucket grapple. Still haven't used that dirt bucket.

I bought in Jan '04 and the factory was running discounts on loaders ordered with tractors.

If you have visitors adding a jump seat is a good safety feature

Try looking at a montana My Montana tractor is 6 months old but there has been a price increase since I bought mine and mine has a cab so I am not sure exactly what the current price is for a non cab model. I have a 4940C.
this has 4 wheel drive 16 gears, front end loader, two remote hydraulic connections and controls, the engine is made by mitsubishi. When I bought mine you could get a 4940 (which is a 49 horse) non cab version for less than the money you said you wanted to invest. I would not be suprised if the new prices were close to that amount now. You can go to the montana forum on TBN and post this question. There are a couple of montana dealers there that might be able to help you if you are interested

Sweet, very sweet! Wish I would've met the seller before you!

The units you listed are good ones. If I was in your shoes I would give Manhindra a good long hard look. They list a 5500 4WD for $20,900. With a 20% discount that gets you into the $17K range. Add the loader and you are very close to your $21,500 budget. This is a much heavier tractor than the others listed. If I was farming and was gonna lift round bales this is a tractor I would give strong consideration to.

I need to move large round bales on the FEL, shred pastures 3-4x per year (6 footer) and box blade my driveway 1x year.

The '00 series Mahindra tractors are probably overkill for what you need, but the they are the biggest HP bang for the buck out there. With 4wd/FEL, you get synchro shuttle shift and heaviest in class. My $.02 worth. Good luck with your search. BobG in VA

I was very lucky in finding it. Today I have 127 hours on it since I bought it. Temp around 50 degrees, great day. 6 hours in the seat.

I got my L4400, 4wd, loader and a set of rear remotes for about $19,000. So for $21,500 you could probably add a nice medium duty 6' mower and maybe a box blade too.

I doubt you could get the MX5000 for that price with 4wd and loader. If you can...then go for it.

I imagine the FEL would be the "rate-limiting factor". The MX5000 does give the most bang for the buck though (as far as Kubota goes).
