New 990 or used 5105

[saltman]

I am looking at a local dealers brand new 990 with R-4 tires with 300cx loader and upgraded 73in bucket for 20,000 or a used 2003 5105 with 140 hours for 18,000 no bucket and shipping from MO to CA. and I can't see it prior to purchase due to the dist. Both are 4x4.

I will use the tractor for road work on my property and farming/ tilling for pasture for cows/ horses.

Thanks

I have a 5103 and usually would recommend the 5105, but the 990 sounds like a much better deal. For only 2k more, you get a brand new tractor w/ a loader and a new warranty. Let us know what you decide.
