Matt - Check out the Cabela's tractor made by TYM. Sales and Service right there in Omaha / LaVista. I know the TYM 723 posted on Omaha craigs list has been sitting for a long time. Cabela's now has a 75hp 4WD with factory cab model, Tier 4 engine - might work out for you. I used to post regularly under a different handle but stopped for a few years as I didn't like the way a lot of the posts and comments seemed to go. Anyway check out Cabela's you may be pleasantly surprised!

kubotas tend to be lighter per HP than many of the other brands. may not bother you, but is a big concern to me

Everyone on here pushes what is in their barn.

Now that is out of the way... You have a very big range of tractors in your list. For example, a m7060 can run over an L6060. I don't bale but I have read you want power and weight. Base your tractor off the hardest job. Maybe later you get a bigger baler? You will also find an L6060 is close to a m7060 on price. Hydro vs power shuttle etc. Since you plan on only doing this once, get the tractor you really like and want. Don't forget Massey. Orange and green will not give you the best bang for the buck, but you know what you are getting. I can't speak for case or nh since I didn't shop those. One last thing to think about..if you ever get rid of it. Some of these off brands take a bath after it leaves the lot. Good luck, and it helps to go look at them all the same day when you get to the final choices.

When I was tractor shopping, I looked at the NH 4.75 and that was a really, really nice tractor that I liked a lot. But I think the LS P7010 offers more for a lot less money.

I bought a TYM last spring - 50 horse have 49 hours on it - cab / fel /2 rear remotes - cat perkins engine / gear drive not hst / and for the money am very happy. I tried Kioti,LS,Kabota,JD,CASE IH,New Holland and all were fine units but price for the TYM was way under all the rest with LS being next closest for my area. That's not many hours for a tractor but all I have for now.( I farmed 700 acres for 30 years and have had just a few tractors in that time) For me the TYM is worth the money so far.

+1

I also looked at the NH T4.75, Mahindra 7060 Cab, Kioti, Kubota, JD, and LS... I felt the best fit price and features was the LS P7010C.

Gary Fowler summed it up, "Check out the utility sized LS P7010C it might surprise you with the amount of tractor that you can buy and the options that come standard on them, like a 3 speed PTO gearbox, 3 rear remotes, telescoping 3 PH lift arms, tilt steering wheel, wired receptacle for trailer towing, 20F/20R gearing or shuttle shift (sorry no HST in this sized tractor) and don't forget the cab with AC and heat plus radio, push button 4 WD, PTO and differential lock, automatic engagement of 4 WD when you tap the brakes (very handy for those downhill slides that folks find themselves in with CUTs and a full FEL bucket. PTO also has the switch to change it from auto to manual where it will shut off when you raise the lift if you like AND you can feather it in with the clutch if you want so it avoids shock loading to the PTO train."

This is why I went LS P7010C. I had several color tractors local and even more within 100 miles. It is A LOT OF TRACTOR for $37k. I could not see spending $50k or more for a 70'ish HP cab tractor. Especially when front and rear wipers/washer, 3 remotes, 3 speed PTO, creeper range (why would you need it?), radio, 12 lights, ect were all standard on the LS, not true on most other brands.

My P7010C should be delivered Wednesday. We shall see how it handles the hay fields. I have no fears that it will pull 8' and 9' disc mowers and a 5x4 round baler.

LS P7010C Cab

Get that one, let someone else take the hit.

Surely someone has grabbed that deal by now. If I was in NC, I'd go buy it and don't even need a tractor!

Does the P7010 have the self-leveling loader? The U5020 I looked at did and I thought that was a nice feature. I wish my Kioti had that feature.

+2... I figure that one is LONG GONE if it is the cherry described. I toyed with calling on the add, but it was about 1000 miles away... And I was not going to drive 2000 miles to preview it!

Yes, the P7010C has the self-leveling loader. I have heard people speak of other color tractors saying the self level lowers the lifting capacity. P series has it and 3500 lb lift capacity.
