Sounds like you answered your own question.

There are no NADA type ranges to go by. Part of the difficulty is that tractors are sold and resold in a condition which would only be junk in the automobile world. Cars which would not drive 20 miles without overheating, missing tires or wheels, hood or door missing, etc. and no one would think of as selling for transportation are equivalent to tractors selling for $300 to $3,000. If you like it and can afford it, buy it.

You recieved some good advice from Nebraska Cowman. He told you he would not try to plow with one.

What you should compare it to are other tractors currently available in your market area. It may be the best deal around if you need it.

If you are looking to find gold nuggets, that takes lot's of patience, lots of looking, and sometimes they just aren't there. If you're looking for a $2,500 loader tractor which will do a lot of work for you with little or no maintenance you might be better off looking for gold nuggets. In my opinion M Farmalls are about the cheapest horsepower around but they are not loader tractors, are not well designed for three point implements, and are not very suitable for heavy duty hydraulic work. Those features are why they are cheaper than an inferior 9N Ford.

You might pay for the loader for the 4100 if you save the gas the 560 will burn. If you just want another tractor, don't try to justify it, just buy it and tell your wife you don't know why you did. It works for the rest of us.
