    30k tractor budget

    The m6060 would be aa close is price to the 2607h as they could get for the most power but its still shy by 10hp. Maybe the kubota would be worth it, im not sure. Ill have to look more

    30k tractor budget

    I did but i emailed our local dealer for a quote as i found the mf 2607h with an msrp of 42k for 34k. Well unfortunatelyim not, that would be a nice discount

    30k tractor budget

    I am going for utility, not compact. but the mf 2607h is also over my budget with an msrp of 42k when i built it online, however i found them listed new at 34k, i can come up with a lottle more for that, or step down to the 2606h. I could not find comparable models for that price new but i...

    I did look at those, i really would of liked a NH since im more familiar with them and know theyre a good tractor even though its not much experience. But the workmaster 60 and 70 and the 5065e and 75e which are closest to the 2606h and 2607h are more expensive and less weight.

    Yeah ive seen quite a few different designs that work well for goats. I saw i really like that was homemade, it expanded to load a round bale and had a trough to catch hay that falls off and as the bale is eaten it collapses in on the bale. But thats something im going to be looking more into.

    30k tractor budget

    I believe after looking ill be really leaning towards the MF 2606h or 2607h, i cant believe they are at the price points for the amount of tractor you're buying. At about 32-34k i think they may be close enough cash could talk. If not i could be there after another week or 2. Now if tax returns...

    30k tractor budget

    Yeah the tn75d i worked with was straight shift, using the loader was a task in itself to learn for anything past scooping dirt and dumping it. When i got my rk25 with the hst and loader, oh man the difference lol. But although a luxury id like that is probably out the door to get more power for...

    Its a 14k gvwr trailer, that leaves 10-11k lbs payload which should be more than enough

    30k tractor budget

    Theres actually a lot of goat farmers using round bales, for the same reasons im sure, not having to keep up with throwing square bales out so much. Now what size they do im not sure, they may use any of them. I wouldnt really need to use over a 4x4 or 4x5 right off the bat until i get more land...

    30k tractor budget

    Thats very doable, i didnt even look at the smaller mx series, when i was looking for new before i was trying to stay 60hp minimum but im just trying to compromise now as much as possible to get the best tractor and most tractor for my money i can. And the new tractor warranty does hold its fair...

    30k tractor budget

    I have a 24hp currently, we just have 14 acres as it is and expanding to 70 acres soon, more as we're able. I love this rk24 but it is no where near enough, i did my gravel driveway with it and i had to take longer to do it because it would be spinning trying to drag gravel out from the piles...

    30k tractor budget

    Yes i do have the rk24, i got it for smaller jobs and tight places knowing id get a bigger one later. I definitely need that much tractor at least and a fel is a must. We currently have 14 acres but will be buying the rest of the tract next to us to make 70 acres and will be buying anything...
