Ok guys, here's the deal, I farm a small 300 acres as of last year. 09 crops were great and I have some money to invest in better equipment to get the crops in faster. Tillage is too slow at this point. I'm a dirt moving contractor so crops are a second job tat needs to be done ASAP.
Question is..what do I buy? I think I want an all purpose machine with 3 point and PTO but I only want to spend about 25K, only 8-15 of which I want to throw into a tractor. I need some implements to go with it afterall. Should I buy a multi use machine or just heavy muscle for tillage like a Steiger or Versatile that is bareback?
Options at this point general purpose: TW30 Ford 2590 Case 4840 JD Big muscle beasts: Steiger any model for 8-15k Versitile 8?? to a 950 for 15K
Been looking at a couple of TW30's priced around 12k the nicest looking one has 9900 hrs on it though..should I fear it? 2590 Case's seem to be the cheapest, good lookin machine but I suspect there is a reason for the cheap prices?? 4840 JD these things are everywhere literally. wide range of prices some in the right range for me but I know nothing about them.
I also see a Case ih 3594 for sale at 18k looks a bit cheap made to me though.
So what do ya think, I'm leaning towards the TW30's at the moment but I'd love to have a monster, of course for 300 acres is it justifiable? can ya help me out? Thanks!
