That is a neat machine Lots of gear choices locking front and rear planetary axles and VERY compact.
They don't list any FEL info - wonder what it came with?

Maybe you could get one for less than 6 figures, would be handy.

This is what I have:
TYM 2515R: for smallish jobs, this 25hp tractor is actually a detuned 36hp tractor/chassis/loader and as such, it really does punch above its weight (hp). Loader is rated for 2,200lbs and it'll definitely lift that as long as you have weight on the 3pt hitch. It's a well engineered tractor with some nice features.
Massey Ferguson 4707: for bigger jobs, this tractor (especially with the upgraded FL series loaders), is a dream. Loader is rated for 3,400lbs and is very smooth. With radial tires, rubber mounted cab, rubber floor, and air ride seat, this is the most comfortable tractor I've ever owned or operated. If you're digging with it, have a smaller bucket along with the standard larger one, to save the loader. Even though it's a stout loader for a farm/utility tractor, it's still a loader for a farm/utility tractor. The standard bucket is 83" (IIRC), but I also have an HD 66" bucket for digging into earth/piles. The smaller bucket allows me to stuff it and not worry about hurting the tractor or loader.
John Deere 410J: when even the 4707 won't do, I hop in the 410 and no matter what, it does the job. As smooth as the 4707 is while operating the loader, the 410 is on another level altogether. Its loader is rated for 7,000lbs and the drive system is silky smooth and easy to operate, as it should be, given that it's a yellow commercial piece of equipment and is priced as such.
Overall, I love the options I have at my disposal to do work on our farm. They are all kept under cover, too, so they don't get weathered.
