It's been 12years since being in the tractor market but the ensuring years have accumulated a bunch of three point (cat 1) attachments from post hole augers and wood chippers to sprayers and snow blowers. My primary tractor is a New Holland TC45D full hydro 4WD with a FEL, quick attach bucket, pallet forks, and grapple. A step in/out frame mounted back hoe rounds out the package. This tractor is a great machine.
The delima is the hassel in swapping out the 3 point implements thus the desire for another tractor. I would be satisfied with a two wheel drive, gear transmission, no FEL or other bells and whistles. Power steering would be nice, but not a deal breaker. I would choose diesel over gas and I'm open as far as brand in the 35 to 40 HP range. The primary use for the second tractor would be to power the wood chipper, buzz saw, and other like PTO equipment so independant PTO is a must.
Now, the budget: Not to exceed 6 grand. Would such a used animal exhist or am I crazy?
