I am in a rather tough decision. I am looking for a good hay baling tractor later used for regular tillage duties on a small farm (35 acres). Next year I am planning on just baling it all off though. I have run across 2 tractors and am having a super hard time deciding on which one. Looking for input from folks who use or have used them. One route would definatly be cheaper than the other anyway! I posted about a 450 I had been looking at. The details
Farmall 450 gas, NF, PS, Fast hitch, Tach, TA (but it locks the tranny when engaged so I know that needs work) The bad part is this tractor needs some maintenance. THe fast hitch was welded (although done well), the hydro lines leak and probably need replacing, THe engine SEEMS to run fine, Tranny OK other than the TA, and the tractor will probably need tires, at least rear tires.
$1500 Farmall M, Nothing special, engine rebuilt recently and all new tires. There isn't alot to say about it, Tractor has good compression and runs well, starts easily, Standard drawbar, was brush painted many years ago, $1350 Both tractors could use a fresh coat of paint. I am on somewhat of a limited budget and the 450 will cost me a bit more to get hauled since I can't do it. I am leaning toward the 450 because of all the extra features it has. This will be my first larger tractor purchase. I have a super A and love it. Thanks for your opinions or thoughts.
