Thinking about getting a new tractor

Posted by JRSutton on July 07, 2014 at 10:43:42 from (71.174.108.252):

Would be used 100% for haying (small square bales).

pulling a haybine mower (which I don't own yet) - and a jd 24t baler dropping on the ground, no wagon attached.

Might want something to occassinoally pull a discbine, but thinking probably not since I don't want to spend more money for the extra horsepower on this one. (but since I don't really know what models to look at - not sure if it'd be a possibility - discbine needs a minimum of 90hp. assuming I won't want to buy something that big)

Areas we do are fairly hilly so we drop them on the ground.

I need something that'll EASILY handle the weight of the baler and or full wagons on the hills (nothing too radical, but some are enough to make you a little nervous going down with a full wagon behind).

I've used an M for years (and I'd call it a little on the light/underpowered side), alos use a JD 630 which feels closer to appropriate.

I like live pto.

I'm just not familiar with anything farmall after the 350/450 series.

560 - etc.

I'm not sure how the numbers even run from that point in history.

I know it's a very subjective question - but if you had to buy one do-it-all haying tractor (this one would do about 3000/4000 bales/year - don't ask me the acreage, lots of small fields)

And money was a prime concern...

What would you pick? Anything to avoid. I know the 560's had some rearend strength issues...

would like to hear other's opinions.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
