I want to upgrade my tractor next spring. I have 41.9 acres. Most of it is in hay and I have four big shelter belts. I primarily use my tractor for maintaining the shelter belts and mowing. I would like a big enough machine to move and load round bales. I will also use it to plow snow and other misc chores.
I feel like my price point is 50k. The tractor I want is a JD 5100e. I can't get that for what I have to spend. My next choice would be a JD 5085e. The only way for me to get either of these is to buy used. That seems like a lot to spend on a used unit with no warranty. I could get a JD 5075e new, but it doesn't seem to get the best reviews. I would love to get a new tractor with a warranty.
I'd like feedback on any of these models and on buying new vs used.
Thanks
