Just looking some more and one of the dealers that I've used the most finally put this Ford 555D up. When they got it it had transmission problems and last time I talked to them they said they were taking it into the shop to work on it. They've updated the pictures and the price, still says it doesn't drive though, I don't know if it's because they forgot to change it or if they didn't fix it but they're asking about $5000 more for it now so I think they've done something. 2wd and a std hoe but has lower hours is 5 years newer and is only $10500 for a 1995.
Here's the machinery trader listing;

Pretty good deal for that new of a tractor. Which way would you lean in my situation? The Ford still has 8200 hours which is still a lot but 2000 less than the Cat and 5 years newer and $6000 less.
Any thoughts?
