How much does a tractor with 4x4, cabbed with heat and air, that will lift 3,000 pounds at the FEL pins, cost?

Sure am glad that my wife bought the Toolcat to help with the pasture mowing!

New LS 7040CPS tractor loader, 97hp From the craigslist ad:
New LS 7040CPS tractor loader, 97hp - $49900 (284 E Six Mile Rd. Whitmore Lake MI)

Last of the tier III tractors, 4x4, Cab w/heat and AC, 40 forward speed transmission, 20 reverse, power shift, sterio, three remote hydraulics, 13.6x24 front tires, 18.4x34 rear tires, 85hp at pto, LL7101 self leveling loader, 136.4" lift, weight of loader is 2984lbs, lift capacity at piviot pins is 3,500lbs, lift capacity 3 point hitch is 6,173lbs,

Thanks, but I would not want it. It is huge! It won't go where or do what the Toolcat will go and do, with 27gpm High Flow Hydraulics, 61hp, independent suspension, 4 wheel steer, and 4 wheel drive.

I know there are a few things a tractor can do that a Toolcat can't do, but nothing that I need done on my place.

Holy crap. I only paid 40k for my 2012 5083e cab and loader with everything we wanted done to it. It was used but it only had 300 hours on it so it was still new and will do much more than the toolcat.

The Mahindra 4025 4wd will do all you need and more. It will make that MX look like a toy and is cheaper.

Like what?

Bought at Value Implement in Baldwin Wisconsin. The 4800 is the new model, so the price increase is to be expected. Also, that was the cash price, but with loaded tires. Again, though, not having the FEL would be a major bummer.

One thing to consider, though, the cost to add the loader to either the 3901 or 4800 will be about the same, but the loader on the MX is much, much more capable.

Thanks all of you for the good advice. I'm leaning toward a low hour tractor and used implements. I do have a new question about post drivers. A fencing contractor wants me to sign up for used oil well piping. I can't afford to fence 20 acres with steel pipe right away. What are your opinions of the oil well fencing? I need advice on post drivers so I can finish the fencing. Kencove, Rhino, and others have drivers. Some are air diriven while other are hydraulic. Advice?

Don't use used oil field pipe. Most of it has had some salt water through it at some point and it will rust from the inside out. The pipe (2-3/8") makes excellent fencing material and that is what my fence is made out of but I used new reject pipe. Basically it is brand new pipe that didn't meet the specs for the oil field use for whatever reason. I bought a whole 18 wheeler load of it for around 15k back in 2010 or so and have done many projects with it and still have some left.
