[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1275841, member: 9096"] I think a Case/IH tractor should be in your sights too, assuming you have a dealer around... I'm looking at a IH 584 4wd (I have a 684 2wd) with bucket, I've heard they have far superior lifting capacity compared to other tractors in the power range (65 hp), fuel tank is behind the seat, cast iron oil pans, and the tie rods behind the front axle. A rancher here once told us when looking at tractors, get the heaviest one, and the IH (JD too) are among the heaviest built. I have heard some horror stories of newer JD's that are built in india.. things like tranny housings snapping in half.. make sure you get a "real" tractor, not a homeowner/hobby model... like everything else, the big brands have decided there's a lot of money to be made selling disposable equipment!
