The M is a fine tractor with some improvements. The problem with that is the tractor is worth about a grand to 1500. Decent after market 3 point 750 or more. Cheapest PS unit used I can find is another 750. A like hydraulic pump that mounts to the governor in this area is about 350. So 1500+750+750+350= enough to get into a 450 or maybe even a 560D now add in the price of a good used Swartz front end. So I'm not sure if I should spend the money on upgrades or if I should just get a different tractor. The 560D I'm going to look at has ok rubber and an asking price of 3500. Rick

I know how you feel...that is a tough call but the way I look at it...if your not going to use it then get rid of it and buy something you will use. Nothing worse than maintaining the tires and batteries on a tractor that just sits. Once I added the factory 3 point it became a whole different tractor. I don't care for the aftermarket 3 points and made the plates so I could mount the Fast Hitch parts.



For me personally I can't beat my M during Hay season because it is the perfect size for pulling the rake. It also gets used for lots of other chores for the same reason. And that hitch is just using the belly pump and I do have power steering.

And with a little luck and lots of time I'll get it painted some day.
