There will be parts for your 35 MF long after there are parts for 40% of the CUT's on the market today I expect.
Sounds like with the Davis FEL you are set with a tractor that will outlast most any CUT you can buy plus you have an all metal tractor.
The CUT's have their place and do seem to have high dealer margins or high margins for someone but they are not farm tractors nor were they build to be so. They are fine tractors but as noted you can see some of the differences at the scales.
Your gas engine has good power, is easy to tune up and service and millions for those engines are still in use around the world.
Use any class of tractor you are considering before laying out the cash.
