[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 763770, member: 1715"] You pay more for green so I tend to avoid it, but you can get some older open station models starting at $8,000. I have a dealer 5 miles away but part cost is unreasonable. They drive OK but it seems like they usually only go about 5000 hours before you start overhauling. I run a Ford 7600 cab tractor that cost $8,900 after I had it fixed up. Good power but slow hyd and the short wheel base rides rough. They seem to hold up better than the 70s vintage green ones. I have been buying 8 speed JI Case recently. They were built heavy in the day. "Late model" (1965) ran $4,300 after I had it fixed up -- about 4 cents per pound. ;-) I am able to get parts so far. I think the issue with many older 60 to 90 hp tractors in my area is that they were "big" in the day and were used hard doing dirt work. [/QUOTE]
