[QUALITY2]

Have opportunity to buy 2001 jd 4610 MFDW with FEL and jd bush-hog, tractor has about 800 HRS. Pretty good shape with some cosmetic damage.
Price 15,000.00.
Also have opportunity at 2005 NEW still on dealer lot never been sold
JD 4520 MFWD with e-hydro and new 400x FEL.
Price 24,240.00 tax and delivery included.
Full 3 year wty with 4520.
Don't know what to do, I know the 4610 and have run it ( friend's tractor)
will I like the E-hydro? Will I be better off in the long run with a new tractor??
4610 has had some problems with front axle leaking, and a pin or something
keeping you from shifting gears, all have been fixed though.
JUST NEED SOME ADVICE GOOD OR BAD>

Go with the 4520 and don't look back. If the used unit already has known issues why would you even consider it. The 4520 price is pretty good and you'll have a warranty.

Go new - BUT - get a 400CX loader from the dealer, not the 400X.
The CX is stronger and the self-leveling makes it a bit easier to operate.
