By comparable I mean in price and available of parts.
We have the usual problems, money anemia and tractor deprivation. The prices and selection of 8n tractors here (NE TX) and the power seems in line with what we're looking for however we would really like a diesel. Are there a few models of high production quantity tractors that are inexpensive and have the availability of parts of the 8n? The horsepower of the 8n is on the bottom end of what we want. The biggest problem when looking for tractors on craigslist, etc. is there are so many choices it is difficult to research brands and parts availability. If we could filter it down to 3-4 models it would greatly simplify our search. On the high end we would like to keep the purchase price under $3K for the tractor.
Good day
