First off, no matter what you buy, you've got to have the dealer support to back up any brand you consider buying.

I'm going to guess that it will be used for a good deal of loader work, and other smaller chores, right?

If you're going to be using a loader, there's just no way to beat the New Holland. My boss has a TN55, which is about 50 horsepower, and we've got one on our family farm. Everything is put in a place that makes sense. The loader joystick is just to the right of your right arm on the armrest, so it's comfortable to use for several hours at a time. The reverser is aginst the left fender over out of the way, but still accessable.

If you do go the New Holland route, make sure you get the larger high flow hydraulic pump for the loader, and a clutchless reverser. Our's has one, and my boss's dosen't. Believe me, there's a big difference when cleaning barns and the like.

Good luck,
JohnDeereGreen
