I agree with Mitch that $6700 would buy a nice 1066 in my area and you can find worn tractors for a couple of grand less in the South. But also in the South the condition of four Rice & Cane tires drastically affects the value of tractors of any brand. If I was going to be doing a lot of PTO work I would prefer an IH simply because the PTO is so much easier to get to for repair than JDs. As far as fuel consumption is concerned, I once planted 185 acres of soybeans on 34 gallons of fuel. But also that same tractor used to pull a 17 shank chisel plow deep in fourth gear and be out of fuel at lunch. I think it has a 43 gallon tank. If I was going to pull a 15 foot cutter, I would hook the cutter up to the 1000 RPM shaft and run the engine a little over half speed. It won't use any more fuel than a small tractor running wide open.
