Yep, about to go REALLY broke!!!! Might even have to sell off a few more things.
1970 Massey Ferguson 185 Perkins Diesel. Always working on it before and after work mainly because it needs new rear seals and the PTO repaired (have to tear the tractor in half to do this job).
Lots of used tractors but I always seem to get one that needs work before I can work with it. Hate that!
Priced out New Holland Workmaster 55. Missed a neat (and cheaply priced) McCormick 65HP machine (new with heated cab!) that was priced to sell after sitting for a couple of years. Not overly impressed with Mahindra, parts availability and all. Never made it to Case. BobCat was a bit high. Deere are very proud (and LOVELY) animals.
Narrowing down to Massey Ferguson 2615 and a 533. Pricing is going to be the main divider and decider at this stage. These are already pricing out lower than the others.
2615 is a Simpson Diesel. 533 is a Perkins Diesel. I'm partial to the Perkins.
Simplest 8x2 transmission, rear and front hydraulics, heavy duty loader with skid steer connects and plumbing for skid steer attachments. I have a rake, fork, mower, etc.
I know what tractor by net (good guys) are saying, but what say ye?
