Morning,<div><br></div><div>It's been awhile since I posted, but I'm at that phase in life where everything seems to take priority over my old iron. Anyway, I am in the market for a newer 4x4 loader tractor in the 50 hp range. My old case 430 ck is now over 60-years old and it's time to put it out to pasture.</div><div><br></div><div>I've been looking at several in the 2000-2015 age range, but I know nothing about "new" tractors. I'm currently looking at a Massey Ferguson, New Holland and John Deere tractors that all fit my requirements. Any advice from the collective group on things to watch out for/stay away from? It's a big investment for someone who doesn't farm and will probably put less than 100-hours a year on it, but I seem to spend more time trying to get the other one to start than I do using it.</div><div><br></div><div>I've avoided the kioti, mahindra, lcm, and other "off" brands, but I'm open to feedback on any of those as well. Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy,</div><div><br></div><div>Joe</div><div><br><br><div class="yahoo-signature"><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aol-news-email-weather-video/id646100661">Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS</a><br></div></div>
