I farm 160 acres of cropland with an M and H. I am finding myself wishing more for a tractor with things like 3 pt., live PTO, wide front, live hydraulics, etc. Although I can buy some of these for my M, I am beginning to think of moving up to a (relatively) more modern tractor that already has these on it. I'm still going to keep my M and H. I was thinking about either a IHC 460 or 560. Would these be good to move up to? Are parts still available? I would like to stick with gas models, because I wouldn't have to buy another bulk fuel tank on the farm. I also think a gas engine is easier to fix and maintain then a diesel. Are there newer IH models I should consider? I am setting a figure of 5-6 K for what I pay...can I get a decent machine for that price? My late Dad and myself have been farming 60 years on this place with the Red line of machinery. One of my neighbors actually had the nerve to suggest I look at one of those tractors painted in that funny-looking green color (SHOCKING!!) Like I mentioned above, this is going to have to be a workin' machine...I won't be using it just for shows or parades. Thanks for any advice and taking the time to read my post and answer my questions...I truly appreciate it!
