I am looking to upsize my equipment a bit. Currently have 3 tractors in the 70-80hp range,(706g, 756d and CaseIH 5220 2wd) looking to go to about 120 Hp so I can pull larger tillage implements, and to get into a tractor that can run a discbine for hay. Cutting with a haybine is just to slow. I'll likely sell the 5220 to fund the new tractor. I am partial to IH as I know them pretty well, and they sell for less than JD. I think a 1086 would fit the bill perfect.
While looking for one, I have found that I can buy a 1486 for about the same money. I realize I don't need a tractor this size right now, but maybe someday I might, if that's the case, then I would have what I will need already. Also, if I did have a 1486, I could maybe just run it 3/4 throttle rather than full throttle like the 1086 would require, if I needed more throttle it would be right there.
Also, while looking for a tractor like this, I have found several that have an electronic torque. I understand that this is an aftermarket upgrade to the factory torque. Are these good units? seems like you could get a much quicker shift than doing it manually?
There seems to be a lot of these tractors out there, most I am finding to be priced between $10k-$15k. Many about $12k. almost all, the a/c is not working.
I'm just wondering if bigger is better, especially if I can get bigger for almost free?

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
