I will pass that on. Zetor is one of the best tractor made in my personal experience because they had a lift system that will put most to shame.

We just do not have nearby dealers now but I got mine near Paducah in 1992 and my business ate it in 1996. there may be one in Clarksville TN.

Ours was perhaps a 5411 orchard model with 3 cylinder and down draft exhaust. I loved that that tractor. The platform was awesome due to my physical limitations. It was so heavy I had to watch it in the swampy places.

i put a space after www. so links show up.
www. tractorhouse.com (tons of used tractors)
www. machinetrader.com (tons of construction tractors / vehicles)
www. ironsearch.com (no were as big as above 2, but lists some extras)
www. craigslist.org (not the best, but you still see listings)
www. searchtempest.com (allows you to search multi cities at once of criagslist.org)
www. ebay.com (might as well, the list tractors as well)

there is a "user" trader/seller forum here on TBN as well. clear down at the very bottom of page. www. tractorbynet.com/forums/

check local trading / advertising papers. i would imagine most local papers have an online website to see ads for tractors.

local auctions, can be a good place to find tractors as well. normally there are "large machinery" auctions 3 to 4 times a year within 1 to 2 hour drive i would assume from most folks locations.

==============

if you buy a used tractor, you best bet, is to make sure it comes with a FEL already attached and comes with it. trying to find a used FEL at a cheaper price and will fit on your tractor without a lot of modifications or extra costs for brackets can be very expensive. not to mention just buying a new FEL.

===============
the higher your price range say 10,000 bucks, the larger search radius i would be willing to look, say up to 3 to 4 hour drive. and i would imagine you could find something within a month that would be a good deal.

Whatever you do don't buy a Mahindra!! They don't use much fuel because they spend almost all of their time in the shop. We have a 7010 that was just in the shop for three weeks and is now in the same shop again having the same problem repaired. And the shop we take it to has a mechanic who does nothing but drag his *** and every time we have a problem it seems he is magically on vacation. If you ask me, if you want to buy a tractor, spend a little more money and buy an IH, Case, New Holland, Massey, or John Deere. Skimping on your farm equipment will inevitably come back to bite you straight in the ***.

Belarus would be a good choice.
I have a 84 hp belarus 800, i carrie 2 big 1300 lb bales on the front end loader and 2 rounds on a fork in the 3 point on the rear
The front axles on nearly every brand tractor of that hp can't support that weight for long on the front axle without braking spindles unless it is a Axle from a oliver or cockshutt wheatland. These axles can ease support 6000 lbs all day long.
I put one of these axles under my belarus when i got tired of braking spindles,..that is 19 years ago.
