Buying Advice 40-90 hp tractor please

[EHR]

Thanks for all the replies. Do be more specific I am leaning towards the utility tractor size. An older American made like 20 years is fine. I work different hours so when I see one posted I can't get to it until it is gone. My tractor is a Kioti LK3054xs that has given me trouble when I first got it and Kioti wasn't responsive. I recently replaced the boom cylinder on the backhoe and that turned into a mini nightmare because of a part redesign. I want more lift capacity and more nuts overall. 40 to 60 hp would be great but allowing more range allows more options.

A skid winch, back blade, snow plow and brush hog would be about all the implements I need.

and
craigslist.org (hint) use SearchTempest: Search all of Craigslist nationwide & more to search multi cities near you from craigslist all at once

http://www.machinerytrader.com/ for industrial loader/backhoes, that you most likely see local cities and townships using to repair roads / clean up
sister site of tractorhouse.com

if ya buying used, look up the three / four sites above,
get a GPS to enter addresses, and take a day trip to go look at a dozen or so tractors. all walks of life every used tractor is different, and would give you an idea of used and abused and ready for the junk heap, vs a tractor that has some life in it, and with a little loving care be a nice unit for years to come.

the tractors will be spread out, any were from a few minutes to a few hours away, from dealerships, to owners selling them. i would just take what ever comfy vehicle you have, and not worry about pulling a trailer or like. once you find what you want, then work out deal, and see about a third party if need be hauling the tractor to you. multi companies out there, that haul tractors to everything else.

Very familiar with both Tractorhouse (My Kioti was found there) to Craiglist.(3 of my four car were bought on CL). I have seen several that I would have probably bought but my job isn't flexible ,,,
