I am looking to upsize my equipment a bit. Currently have 3 tractors in the 70-80hp range,(706g, 756d and CaseIH 5220 2wd) looking to go to about 120 Hp so I can pull larger tillage implements, and to get into a tractor that can run a discbine for hay. Cutting with a haybine is just to slow. I'll likely sell the 5220 to fund the new tractor. I am partial to IH as I know them pretty well, and they sell for less than JD. I think a 1086 would fit the bill perfect.
While looking for one, I have found that I can buy a 1486 for about the same money. I realize I don't need a tractor this size right now, but maybe someday I might, if that's the case, then I would have what I will need already. Also, if I did have a 1486, I could maybe just run it 3/4 throttle rather than full throttle like the 1086 would require, if I needed more throttle it would be right there.
Also, while looking for a tractor like this, I have found several that have an electronic torque. I understand that this is an aftermarket upgrade to the factory torque. Are these good units? seems like you could get a much quicker shift than doing it manually?
There seems to be a lot of these tractors out there, most I am finding to be priced between $10k-$15k. Many about $12k. almost all, the a/c is not working.
I'm just wondering if bigger is better, especially if I can get bigger for almost free?
