Mark, I'll take a stab at it. Not a recomendation though. I guess first of all, why do you want a 45-50 horse tractor? That's pretty good sized, and might be bigger than what you need, and not big enough. Some favor front wheel assist, and need it. Some might be using them in an orchard, and don't need it, and 45-50 HP would be bigger than need for that. You got a Deere dealer near you so can get parts as you need them? Maybe you have a IH/Case or New Holland dealer near by, and the nearest Deere dealership for parts is a few counties over - it happens, and vica-versa. It's your money and can do whatever you want with it, anyhow you want, but whatever you buy with it, may want to make sure it fits your needs and be able to get parts or service as well. You can get power steering on just about any Deere, I think. What does your Deere dealer have used, or the local farmers? As far as being no older than 15 years old, well it's your call, but you might be selling yourself short. All is up to you though, is your money. Many might be happy to give an opinion, but might be easier if knew what the application is. Might try the Deere board here as well. Good luck. Mark
