Hey all,
I am looking for a 90-110 hp tractor. Beings I grew up on Deere, I was looking for a 4230 or 4030, but they're priced higher than I can afford. I tried to buy a well maintained one owner 13000 hour 4230 synchro at an estate sale a week ago and it brought $11250. I feel it should have brought 9000 or so, but the crowd disagreed. They also sold an early 4020 for 11000 and a 4440 for 27100.
So, I am looking at a Ford instead. There's a pretty nice looking 7700 relatively close for $9000. Anything to consider before making the leap?
Any other makes and models that'd be good for cultivating, planting, haying, and winter work around 100 hp?
