My advice is to look around your area and determine which color is missing. Usually a reason.....may have nothing to do with your intended usage nor preferences. Around here White, Oliver and Case are seldom seen. As a result, they can be had much cheaper at a sale. On shopping other areas, for me, it has to be sight...SEEN. Won't buy something I haven't "kicked the tires".....too many gotchas.
Next thing is when I bought my 100 PTO HP, 1979 JD 4230, Soundguard Cab, cosmetically restored with all new rubber, full set of weights front and rear wheel, 4k hours, hydro, with new 134a AC system, and all, in 2005, it was sitting next to a 4430 with 10k hours, also restored, don't know if more than cosmetics. I operated both and there was an obvious difference in the "feel" of both. The former felt tight, the latter felt loose, but the 4430 was a popular tractor with the turbo boosting the HP to 125 with everything else the same with the design, best I could tell. I paid $17k for the 4230 and the 4430 was priced at $19k.
Seems that tractors are cheaper down here. I have bought and transported tractors from outside my area, requiring overnight accommodations. One thing is for sure. If you spot what looks like a good deal, you had better get on it; don't wait. Lot of tractor flippers out there who scan sources daily and they will beat you to it if you let them. Course, flippers (used tractor/equipment dealers included, aren't all bad). They have saved me a lot of time and travel, and the two I frequent pick quality merchandise without me having to do a lot of leg work as would be the case if I bought directly from the seller.
