There is another way. Go used. I have a Deere tractor in that size range, a 1983 Deere 2350 MFWD, with a new 541 self-leveling loader. I bought it used (at a New Holland dealer, no less) and went thru it, clutch, inframe, tires, MFWD, ROPS, wiring, added the loader, etc, and have a decent tractor for about half the price of the equivalent new one. And a better and heavier tractor since the older Deere is built of about 3000 lbs more iron then the same HP size newer one (5320) and has a four cylinder engine with wet sleeves. And the iron is where you want it, in the chassis, not in dead weights. The newer Deeres are lighter for the same HP than the older ones. And for loader service, MFWD is the ONLY way to go. You get a full bucket on a two wheeler and you just ain't a goin' nowhars. You might have to wait a while unitl just the right one comes along at the right price, but it will be worth it. just my $0.02.
