new tractors all suck to much electrical stuff that can go wrong... and the shifters are just retarded with hi low medium range and they're in the wrong place aswell. id muchrather drive our 1968 ford 3000 or the farmall we have than any of that new hydrostatic shit.. we sold our oliver white 1970 with 2 superchargers that thing was abeast went like 35 mph thing would do wheelies when u hit the chargers. id just go to a large scale equipment auction and buy used.. we bought a new holland bout 5 years ago and its been nothing but problems
no such things around here, this isnt farm country.
rather have a new tractor with warranty for $2k more than similar used tractor beat to shit already, tractors dont really lose value much.
hydrostatic is much better for heavy pto use, I do a ton of snowblowing, so its better for the tractor and the snowblower.
used ford 1920 ran decent for 10 years, but it blew a rod couple weeks ago, not worth spending $5k+ fixing it
