R4047 or U5020C?

Camper · Jun 30, 2012

I'm in the market for either a R4047 or a U5020C with a FEL. Would anyone care to share what the going prices are for each of these tractors?

Thanks,

Pat

I paid $26.900.00 for my U5020C with FEL in Dec 2011. Great price, but did not have use of it until June 6, 2012 while LS worked out the bugs in the PTO. It's been working great since the last fix on 6/6/2012, but I keep looking over my shoulder.

I'm looking at both tractors. WANT the bigger tractor but the 4047 would do what I need to get done. This is my retirement tractor so I'm choosing carefully. Talked with my buddy that has been farming for over 40 years now and he tells me to buy the 5030C model if I'm going to keep it. I want the FEL, backhoe, grappler, and pallet forks and can get that for $28K out the door for a R4047. The cab tractor would run about $10K more. Our current tractor is a Ford 1920 with about 500 hours on it and has always been a garage queen. Has it's own pole barn and concrete floor to stay in. I think that tractor has been left outside overnight for total of maybe 5 nights since new. It's just time to upgrade to a loader and the other toys because the Ford only has 32 hp and the wife says I should upgrade. I appreciate the info. I'll post pictures after I pull the trigger.
