I know what you mean. The 4020 was one of the best tractors ever built, but in the last 10-15 years folks have gotten carried away with the money that they're shelling out for them. There are several models from different brands that compare very favorably with the 4020, and can be had for 1/2 the price in most cases. If I were looking to buy a good used 90 hp tractor, I would avoid any type of dealer. Get a copy of you local Farmer's market bulletin or similar sale paper and go looking. I'd take a one owner tractor off the farm in it's work clothes over a painted lady at a dealer any day. This gives you the opportunity to look around and see what emphasis the owner puts on maintenance and repairs(what kind of shape is his other equipment in?),you can get a pretty good history of the tractor(was it used for tillage, or was it strictly a loader tractor?), and you won't be paying the dealer's markup! Also, no matter where you live, I'll bet you have a neighbor that knows quite a bit about tractors and would probably ride along (wouldn't hurt to buy him lunch...) and give a second opinion. You never know, you might find a good deal and a good friend.
