i don't farm but a friend of mine and his dad have farmed 480 acres since 1958 he bought a 460 new in 1962 and a 560 new in 1963 i believe and he still uses them.bought a 460 diesel about 10 years ago to just plant with, the 560 now has a loader and he has a 1466 and a 1566 for field work,look around at all the farm auctions and what do you see new deeres mostly,i could see if you farm 10,000 acres or so where the new stuff could pay off but for the little guy i don't think ya can beat the older stuff,after being around them for the last 25 years and seeing the reliability of their ih's i bought me a 460 utility last year. and it hasn't let me down yet,and i wouldn't hesitate to buy another.i couldn't buy a new one of like size and horsepower,it cost 30,000 or more,and the way i look at it is i only paid 24,000 for my house and 30 acres of the prettiest land iowa has to offer i'll be damned if i'll pay over that for anything else car,truck or tractor.
