[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 493228, member: 4674"] I have been using a 4610 Ford and a 4100 Ford for the last 25 years. Both have served me well. I shred with them. I disk with them, I bale with them, and I cut hay with them. I feed the cows in the winter with them. The 4610 is 52 HP and the 4100 is 45 HP. I have a little over 250 acres of pasture and produce all of my hay, 450 bales this year, and run a 65 head cow-calf operation. There is no certian field set aside for hay production I only cut where there is surplus grass. Last year was pretty good. 2005 and 2006 were pretty rough. These Fords have never let me down. I use a 5400 Rebel baler to bale and cut with a New Holland 499 Mower Conditioner and two I-H 1300 sickle mowers. Which cutting machine depends on what I am cutting. Grass is Tifton 85, Bahia, common and costal bermuda. There is not any pasture plots over 25 acres. Every time I go in to buy a baler part or a mower part the tractor salesman hits me up to trade for a new Kubota. He will say if I had your kind of money I would buy a new tractor, and I tell him that if I had a new tractor he would have my money and I would have his tractor. Sometimes it gets tempting to trade but when I look at the $35000 for a new tractor the temptation goes away. [/QUOTE]
