I've been looking for a loader tractor for a small place we have. Could probably make do with smaller Jap tractor, but have always been attracted to, "real," tractors. Sold my CaseIH 485 5 years ago when I didn't need it. Now we have a use for something again. Today was offered a 1984 model year International 584, 4WD, 4,000 hours; traded in by original owner to original selling dealer. Has Freeman Loader (I know nothing about Freeman's) 6-foot bucket. They priced it at $11,900, which I think is high. Any comments? Any troubles with those 4WD's? (My 485 was 2WD). My only use is a lot of gravel maintenance, light tilling, bucket use for working around buildings, cleaning the windbreak (which is where a smaller machine would be better), winter snow and general utility work. I think this would be about 30% too much tractor, but I'm also not sure the extra bulk would hurt anything. Tractor is about a 2 hour drive away, so am trying to learn first what I might be up against. Thanks for comments, Dennis
