2006 Massey Ferguson 3635 Cab
Well, I sold the DK45 a few days ago. :( It was a great tractor, but just too small for the farm. It was purchased by a nice family nursery, where it will be used vigorously. I hope to still contribute to the Kioti family, because I pushed the limits of that little beastie and learned a lot about it.

As a step up, I bout a 2008 Massey Ferguson 3635 Cab. It has 280 hours on it, and the price was right. There was some broken glass remains in the cab, and a few wires re-spiced, so it may have had an unfortunate incident early in its career. Other than that, it looks new. Everything must have been replaced. I love the Sisu turbo diesel. It sips fuel, and you can't deny the lovely whine. The best part about it is that model is made in Italy! The worst thing is the JVC stereo and under-achieving speakers. There's room for a subwoofer!:thumbsup:

Purchasing a larger tractor to take care of your acreage more efficiently and more productively, most certainly makes since. Best wishes.
