Hi Guys,

I need another tractor :-) ! I've been 'farming' for 1 year now and my first tractor is a '68 180dsl. Man, I love it! I did about 1500 square bales last year & a TON of brush hogging. I mow with a Gehl Discbine which my 180 has just enough power to run (mower needs 65, tractor is 64hp). I bought a second tractor, a '55 WD45 gas, to pull wagons, rake, etc. I don't really care for it. I don't like the gas and I don't like the escape route if I get in trouble (me being a novice and living in the hills of NJ). I'd like to get rid of it and get a D17IV or 170. But that's not my priority.

So, I'm thinking of something a little bigger than the 180. To mostly do hay with. Which would be best for me?

190XT
200
7000
6080
I'm open to other suggestions, but please try and keep them orange. I'm not afraid to spend a little $$.

Thanks a million!!

-Mike

ps. the only thing I don't like about the 180 is the fact that I can't rely on the trans to keep it stationary while parked.

Well Newbie, my advise to you is to get a 190 or an XT the XT is about 16-17 more horsepower. A series 4 D-17 or a 170 are excellent tractors but pulling wagons and rakes with them is overkill. They will pull them like they are toys. A D-10,D-12,D-14 would suit yours needs as a chore tractor better, or even a CA.
