I"m still looking for a tractor, I have seen a few good ones, but still don"t know what to do. IH seems to be less than half the price, and with lower hours than JD. I suppose someone has asked this question before, but I didn"t find it yet. How much difference would I notice in fuel consumption between the two? I"d be baling with it (5x6 round), running a Haybuster, and pulling loads of around 20,000 pounds of hay/mover. Anyone have a ballpark estimated gallons per hour or something like that?

I know it depends on use, but how long do some of the components usually last if taken care of? Most of the ones for sale around here have new clutches, some new ta. Seem to be about 4-5000 hours on either for about $10,000 to $14,000. Thanks.
