depending on how things look after I sell my last 3500 bushels of beans, I may be looking for a newer tractor. problem is, im not sure what I want! currently doing about 200 acres of row crops and mainly using the good old 190 XT, which will at least continue to spray and plant corn if I buy a newer one. 4520 deere does most of the heavy work. also have a few bred cows so doing some cow-calf stuff too. hoping to expand both here soon. current implements are a 12 row deere 7000, 20' Tye 2020 no till drill, 30' Allis 1300 field cultivator, Demco sprayer with 40' booms and 1000 gallon tank, 13 shank deere chisel plow. usually rent a 11 shank 28% applicator with a 1000 gallon tank as well. was thinking of a 7020, but it may be too light for some of the stuff I want to do, 7045 would probably be decent as well. 7060 would almost be pushing too big. maybe look at a 8000 series? I want 540/1000 pto too. want something pretty nimble too. have thought some about 4430s and 4440s as well since I've spent quite a few hours in a 1976 4430 at work, but would like to stay orange as the price is much more reasonable. anyone have suggestions or experiences? ------------- 2001 Gleaner R42, 1978 7060, 1977 7000, 1966 190 XT, 1966 D-17 Series IV and 1952 WD and more keep my farm running! |

8050 or 8030 power shift....hands down.....you would not regret owning an 80xx. The 8050's are priced about the same as most 8030's I see. Leon B ------------- Uncle always said "Fill the back of the shovel and the front will take care of itself". |

You can't go wrong with a 7045 but a 8000 series is nice if you want FWD. ------------- 180 190XT 7045 7060 S88 |

iv spent most of my tractor operating life in a 4430 lol we had 3 that we ran daily for years. but just have 2 now a 76 with a 725 loader ,77.. i like the 404 vs the 466 in the 4440.. the 404 burns less fuel and i love the sound gaurd cab also, and the quad range and ps out of all the hours we have put on them one has had a started put on and that was cause i just wanted the gear reduction starter. the other was a hyd hose. and our old one that we sold was a 75 it had a hose to bust thats under the hood. thats all we have ever done to any of them ------------- 2 wd 45,2 D-17 diesel/gas 3 pt, 220,d21, 4020,2 4430s used daily http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCudh8Xz9_rZHhUC3YNozupw |
