Zooey, You're probably going to get about a hundred opinions and these are just my thoughts. The 460 is kinda moving down a step in my opinion; they are not too big of a mule. I don't think either the 460 nor the 560 is gonna have a 3-point on it unless someone has hung one of those aftermarket things and the draft control will not work with these units. When you start getting above 50 horse, any tractor is gonna eat you alive in fuel costs if it is a gasser. With that M, you are used to filling at noon or walk to the house at 3pm; with a diesel, you will probably fill every other day. You mention the ease of repair. That's one of the attributes of diesel; they seldom give any trouble and seem to run forever with little or no repair costs whatsoever. So, my recommendation is a 666D for your quoted price range. It is the same overall basic tractor as an M (more or less), but just a newer/beefier version and with that kind of money, you should be able to find a pretty darned good one. Allan
