Ya want sticker shock try pricing a used 4wd tractor in 200-250hp range. Wasn't on the needed list until the old IH 3588 developed a tick in the tranny. Only a couple chipped gears and a ring and pinion about ready for replacement.

artec package deal by any chance?
Hard to beat the Allis 175 to 190 tractors also. I would also add in the Massey Ferguson 165 and ups, My brother has a 65 from the 60's he likes a lot too.

There's a crowd called Artec that package Mahindras with Lawrimore trailers and a few attachments. Your trailer looks a bit like one of those so I thought maybe you had bought from those guys (a long shot, I know). I'm looking at buying a new Mahindra and wondering if I should buy from USA while our dollar is relatively high against the greenback, but it's quite a risk if anything went wrong.
Congrats on the machine !
It's worth it, that is a very popular model and there is information and parts galore everywhere.
I'm trying to find one that needs work to get into my price range.
FYI, it is easy to get stuck with that thing, but the hoe has enough power to pick the ass end up and plant it out of the way. If you have any wet areas you will learn how to use your brain to control the loader and hoe at the same time to flip you out of tough spots.
In celebration of my 1000th post I figured I'd bite the bullet and go get myself a Tractor. I was at the dealer and had my eye on a nice 50 hp M Series Kubota then I went inside and found out the price..
SOOOO.. In my real life I'll be lookign to spend about $5-6K on an older tractor.. I'm looking for 1 with a loader and I plan to put a blower on the back come winter. I know this is a loader question but I'm looking for advice on what to buy and what to stay away from. I know I know it's like a 16 year old asking a bunch of guys at the Bar what kind of car he should buy! But I'm know crap about tractors, all I know is I want a good make so I can buy parts when the 40 Yr/old thing breaks down.
I'm calling a guy tomorrow about a 75' International , 60 hp with a loader. I wouldn't even know how to turn it on. If I go to look at it I'll bring help!~uttahere2:
