iowafarmer said: (quoted from post at 10:13:53 08/25/08) I'm looking at 2 tractors for chore work. They'd see light/medium use on my farm.
Tractor 1 is a 706 gas, cab, WF, good tires, recent overhaul, 2pt, $3500.
Tractor 2 is a 756 diesel, cab, WF, good tires, 9k hours, 3pt. $6000.
I like the diesel better because its a diesel and it has a 3pt. but am worried that the engine would soon need a rebuild.
Am I better off with the 706?
What kinda shape is the PTO in on both machines? The 2 point vs the 3 point isn't a huge issue in my opinion. The gasser will start easier or should anyways. For the price if all other things are equal it would be hard to turn down the gasser if the diesel has 9000 hours on it.
