Hey guys, I have few 100 hundred acre farms within 30 miles of each other that i use for deer hunting. I may buy another one over the next few years. I do lots of habitat/food plot work including plowing, disking, tilling, spraying, drilling(with a 3 point 3 row 7000 no till planter) and putting in culverts, fence posts and general loader work. Possibly getting a small 3 point tree spade someday. My concerns are balancing between a tractor that is easy enough to trailer yet still powerful enough to get the jobs done. Id like something with 50-6ohp, NOT hydrostatic transmission, def 4x4 and a FEL. Ive tried to do some research but with all the info and models out there it gets a little confusing. I have a New holland, John Deere, kubota, and massey Dealerships all in town. I already have 6 ft disc, brush hog and tiller that id like to keep for this new tractor. Id like something preowned with low miles. I know my local new holland shop has a TC55da with 400 miles on it for 22,500. I know theres not a whole lot of preowned tractors in this size here locally but I don't mind traveling or finding something on tractor house. What are your thoughts on the TC55da and the deere 5205? Any others you guys would recommend for my needs? Thanks guys.
