Looked at 2 tractors today. A JD 40 with loader for $4250 and a MF 50 with loader for $5200. This seems to be the going price in Eastern Washington. Drove both and they run fine - MF started a bit easier. The JD has power steering, the MF does not. Also, the JD is cleaner - all straight and has original operator's manual and apparently the original top link for the 3 point hitch. I just can't decide which will be better for our needs, which will be mostly "brush hogging" our 14 flat acres, maintaining our gravel driveway, and tilling several paddocks to plant pasture grass. Occasional scooping of llama poop as well. Would appreciate any input.

I'd guess the MF would be more usedful in the long run. But.....I'd still buy the JD. If you buy the Jonnie Popper you'll have something to be proud of vs. "just a tractor", and should you ever decide to sell, I'll bet you'll get your money back or make a little on the JD.
