Hi If you go the case route don't go power shift they can be very expensive to fix with parts and labor, if it has to go to the dealers when it goes wrong. My friend runs an 1175 and 870 for that reason Standard trans. It took a long while to find a non power shift case round here when he was looking for his 1175. He paid $7000 with 7000 hrs, and a bit of time in my shop going through some stuff like lights and leaks/general service and odd bits. That was 3 years ago now and it's been a good tractor. some of the cases get pourouse liners in the motors to so watch that as well. A power shift that old round us only makes 4000 on a good day and there are loads of them around, 2290 type about $10.000+ It's cheaper to chuck it and buy another when the trans quits lol. on the 4230/ 30 series in general Deeres the rear end is known to be weak round this area, and guys prefer the later 40 series as it has updated parts. I guess it all depends on how abused any tractor was before you got it. Basically at your budget it's a bit of a turkey shoot what you do end up with. also remember what the parts cost too , I find $2000 for genuine parts don't buy a lot some days, if your on a smaller farm budget, an expensive break down can ruin ya month pretty quick.
