We are in the process of acquiring a 60 acre farm. The farm has little level ground with fields and woods. The hills are the type that you would have to mow them going up and down as opposed to side to side. About a year ago the previous owner did a select cut on some of the timber, the woods are full of large tree tops and old skidder trails. The tasks I see for the new farm are as follows:

mowing the fields
dragging the tree tops out
grooming the old trails so that we can use an ATV/tractor/gator
leveling ground and installing culverts
digging holes for fence posts

We have looked at a Case IH DX 40 and really liked it. I was curious to know what the differences are between the DX40 and the New Holland equivalent. I know they are made by the same company, not sure of the differences though. Also, I am in the correct HP range or would a 33HP do OK?

I don't know that the DX's have the option of SuperSteer yet. Else, can't think of any; I think the Nebraska tractor test actually used NHs for the reports on both machines.

I'm far from being knowledgable on those though, so you'll have take my two cents at a highly discounted value! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Good looking headlights is a Case/Farmall exclusive. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yeah, what Jinman said. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Seriously, though, if you are not interested in the NH Supersteer option, then make your choice based on the color and/or price and/or dealer you like better.
