Buying Advice Best compact utility tractor

[ytranch08]

We're building a horse barn and need help in choosing the right compact tractor. We live in Montana, and really want to have a cab. We need to be able to spear and unstack (not stack, that will be done at delivery) bales of hay. We would also like to be able to run a small backhoe off the tractor. Can anyone advise us as to the smallest, simplest to operate tractor that would meet our needs? Any help would really, really be welcome.

Look into the Farmall 45 with cab. Add a backhoe to it.

A 2009 model is good as the 2010 (helping you save some money). There are current discounts going on right now with Case IH. I sold one and it worked like a charm for my client. Average price for a backhoe attachment is around $8600 bucks (this should include installation).

Total price will be around $42,000
