You're going to be looking at used. Check Tractorhouse.com and Craigslist to get an idea of what you can find.

Good luck.

Willy it would help to know what you need the tractor to do. I do think you will be looking used.

Yes used. To old to lift, push or pull. Have a 1993 Long 2460 for bush hogging and plowing. Need for honey dos mostly. Thinking about 30 hp.

If you have another tractor have you shopped around for a used skid steer?
For loader work / landscaping type work lot's of handy very capable attachemnts you can buy / rent.

I want a smaller tractor with a frontend loader. Don't need one and I hate to rent anything. Looking hard at the Yanmars from RCO.

A man can't have to many tractors or tools. Huh?

If you dont mind tinkering you can get a new Jinma for that.

Right. What I was getting at is if you aren't mowing or plowing with it, a skid steer loader is a lot more powerful and a lot more versitle than a small tractor with a front end loader.
10,000 small utility tractor versus 10,000 used skid steer they both will go in tight places, be handy to use, but the skid steer will lift more and do more than the tractor.

What I mean by renting is if you had a project that needed an attachment you didn't own or wouldn't need to own there are a lot of things you can hang on the front of a skid steer, for instance a jack hammer, that you could easily rent and not have to buy.

Kubota B-series, 5-10 year old models. You might find one in your area that would work for you.
