I would pick the Ford 3930 mfwd. I would stay away from the CIH 485 and CIH 585. They can be great tractors but if the hydraulics have been contaminated they can be junk. That series had problems getting water around the shifters and into the hydraulic oil. Then when it would set it would rust different components.
That Ford 3930 is a good little tractor. They where a little noisy but held together very well. Plus the mfwd and loader will be used a lot.
In that mid teen price range you could also look at the John Deere 5210 and 5310. I have a 5210 2wd and love it. It is the best starting tractor I have ever owned. I forgot to plug it in the first winter I had it. My car was stuck in the drive with the family in it. 5 degrees above and that 5210 started without any help or glow plugs. I don"t like doing that but I had to get the kids into the warm. I have found that 5210 get used a lot of hours because it is easy to get on and off of. It is short coupled and turns just like a narrow front. My great uncle rakes all of my hay. He has a choice of several tractors including a 4055 PS with a cab. He always takes that 5210. He says that it is so much easier to get on and he can see everything so much better.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father ... [Read Article]
