Howdy,

Well, before offering any suggestions on tractors I think some questions need to be asked. First off, don't limit your options to just these two tractors. Like others have said, look around. I would also make the same suggestion that buying from a dealer in a situation like this isn't a good idea. I work for a CaseIH dealer here in Ohio and know why tractors that are not worth a lot get advertised for high prices. Often times salesmen get backed into a corner on deals where a guy wants to buy a new tractor and wants to trade in a tractor that isn't worth a bunch. In order to make the deal the salesguy will have to put more money in a trade than he wants and in order to not lose money he has to sell it at a cost higher than it's actual worth. Now that's not always the case since I got a good deal on my last tractor. But then again, I work here and I bugged our salesman on it from the day he said he might take it in on trade.

Now the questions. How big is the piece of property that your daughter is going to be working on? What type of work is she planning on doing with the tractor? What type of terrain does the property consist of? Is the budget restricted to $3000 or less or can it be pushed up any? Lastly, how able-bodied is your daughter? Can she climb with ease or would a shorter tractor be handier? Would she prefer something with power steering? Answering these questions will give everyone a better idea of the tractor you need. Again, don't limit yourself as this is a major purchase. God bless.
