I've decided it's time to upgrade to a new (to me) tractor. I'm looking in the 80-120HP range. My only local dealer is Massey Ferguson & New Holland so I'd prefer to stick to one of those two manufacturers. He has a like new '10 Massey 4WD 2680HD with FEL & 2 remotes for $29,900. That's about the only tractor he has that I have any interest in & I don't want to get stuck on it just because it's close & available.
The tractor must have a FEL. Other than that its main use will be haying, mostly small squares but I need to be able to pull a round baler as well. I live in hilly country so I need something with plenty of weight & plenty of muscle. I don't particularly care about a cab.
I understand that there's no perfect piece of equipment but I want to seek some wisdom good & bad from the group here. I'm open to any & all suggestions. And as I said in the title $30K is my budget limit.
Thanks in advance for your input.
