[QUOTE="mml373, post: 1767753, member: 38746"] I am new to agriculture and at my current scale of operations do not NEED a big tractor. A subcompact would work except for haying operations (which I've hired out in the past). The issue is there are a lot of things, even on a small farm, where a big tractor is handy. We've committed to raising sheep and growing hay on our 35-acre farm and are looking into bigger land sometime down the road. I was wondering if folks can give me an introduction to tractors. What makes a John Deere different than a New Holland or a Mahindra? We have all major brands available fairly close by. What considerations do folks give when purchasing? New Holland and Mahindra are closest, with the New Holland dealer being a large company with multiple locations in the area. Was thinking about a smaller 40-45hp tractor with homestead hay package for around $18k that produces smaller round bales...but looking at the long term believe a Workmaster 75 or something similar, with square baling equipment, would be preferable for my purposes.
