Of those three I like the Century better. Consider looking at older machines like a Ford 2000, 3000, or 4000 (and others). There are great older machines out there that will cost you THOUSANDS less than the new tractors. My BIL bought a Korean yuppie tractor a couple of months ago (Kioti brand). Paid $23,000 for it - it is basically an overgrown lawn mower. MIGHT last him 6-7 years. He recently started to dig his basement with it. Got 1/2 way through and decided to go rent a Bobcat to finish. Only took 10 days sun-up to sun-down. Thought he was saving money, but cost more in the long run. Every tractor has it's own uses, just remember what your choice is designed to do and don't try to go beyond it. How many acres and what are your plans for it?
