Buying Advice Looking to upgrade nest winter/spring

[jon edwards]

I want to upgrade my tractor next spring. I have 41.9 acres. Most of it is in hay and I have four big shelter belts. I primarily use my tractor for maintaining the shelter belts and mowing. I would like a big enough machine to move and load round bales. I will also use it to plow snow and other misc chores.

I feel like my price point is 50k. The tractor I want is a JD 5100e. I can't get that for what I have to spend. My next choice would be a JD 5085e. The only way for me to get either of these is to buy used. That seems like a lot to spend on a used unit with no warranty. I could get a JD 5075e new, but it doesn't seem to get the best reviews. I would love to get a new tractor with a warranty.

I'd like feedback on any of these models and on buying new vs used.

Thanks

Check dealers for Demo's or rentals with a few hours, they're discounted & still come with warranties. I'm leaning towards a 4WD tractor myself or an older 2WD with more HP, i don't want to deal with the junk they have put on the new ones.
My 07 5303 has some on it now(junk) & it's expensive should something go wrong with it.

KIOTI PX 92 + New holland BR 69 - YouTube

Note..... from what I have read these are the last of the tier 3 units, that in itself should be worth a lot to someone that does not want the emmisions BS....4year, unlimited hours warranty.

According to my dealer Kioti is coming out with a PX 120hp model in the near future. The price for the PX 90 was in the $50 k range.
