Which one would you prefer the 50 lp john deere or a 730lp john deere. Both run. 50 has single front the 730 has single front . 50 needs rear tires the 730 has good tires.
 
I think you should take your trailer into consideration. The 50 can be put on a smaller trailer since it weighs about 5000# as opposed to the 8000# for the 730. But with the 730, you're getting about twice the hp, a real 3 point, and possibly live power and power steering. I say possibly because they were an option on the 50.
 
they both have power steering. 730 has complete hitch , 50 has aftermarket hitch and rear tires need replaced. both have live pto. 50 has good paint 730 has brush paint job but very good tires.
 
Rick: We've talked back and forth. Here's a twist that folks seldom view. While it's a hobby and it's okay to spend whatever on whatever tractor...I've found that the later models three number tractors are seriously the one's more likely to recover cost and resell or recycle. It costs the same or more to work on a letter or low number tractor but they're not worth as much. Actually many members have moved away from the three number tractors and on into the new generation. I know it's a hobby and I'll get it by the chin but everyone likes a tractor that has value. Just a thought to share.
