Hi Katharine !! I won't advise you on make of tractor but from what I have read of your post so far it sounds like you are commiting one of the first cardinal sins of a used tractor buyer. That is you are shopping at dealers. These people have all the tractors that people can't or won't sell to aquaintences or neighbors or in the classifieds. People trade their junk in at dealers because it is easier on their concience and it is "as is" and he knows it. Also dealers buy at auctions where their are many "marginal" tractors at cheap prices so he can make a profit and when asked any pertinent mechanical questions by the potential buyer he usually says generic things like "as far as I know" or "I just bought it at auction so can't tell you" or he tells you how nice and solid thew unit is when he has only had it for the time it took to get it home from the sale. I could go on and on but just take some advice and BUY FROM A PRIVATE OWNER WHO HAS OWNED IT LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW AND TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! You can also LOCATE them on the net. Just don't BUY on the net!! Go and see it first!!! It is a buyers market right now , lots to choose from. Don't be rushed. Their are good ones out there! Just stay away from dealers!!!! Their profit comes FIRST , your happiness ? , well , "after all , it IS a used tractor , they all have problems , but if you want we will apply the full price you paid us onto a brand new one with warrantee if you quallify". Weasels!
