Yes, I realize this is a relative statement, but theres a chance I'll be needing to reclaim some land in the next several years, so being the tractor enthusiast that I am, I spent part of this evening looking at listings for larger used tractors online.
Within 4 hours drive of me, looking for 60-90 hp tractors, I've found, all in the same condition (at least in appearance in their ads)
- 10-20 year old Kubotas - $15-$19k - 80's and 90's Fords - $12-$18k - Various Olivers and lesser known (if you will) machines - $ 9k-$13k
Multiple Massey Ferguson's with asking prices of $5,200 and in the $6-7000 range for the same sized tractors!
And I'm having issues understanding this.
Is there something problematic about them that steers people away? I've never know of anything but I'm also not very familiar with the machines. Is it just because they arent horse farmer approved like the Kubotas, or have the massive marketing engine of JD behind them, or the brand recognition of IH or Ford? I just dont understand why they're generally 1/3 to 1/2 as much as the other makes. Some are slightly older but many have the same or less hours. For that matter, even the newer models are substantially cheaper. I'm in DFW Texas if this makes a difference...
I was hoping that someone could explain their low resale values to me a little bit. Im genuinely curious and cautiously optimistic. Thanks guys!

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
