What tractor would you recommend?

[bnixon]

I am in the market for a used diesel 1965-present tractor on a relatively light chassis. In the size range of a large compact or a small utility tractor. Around the 3000#-3700# range. With between 35-45HP. Would like it to be able to handle a loader/box blade/6ft brushhog/and 6ft 3pt finish mower. It will need to have a live or independent PTO and I would prefer not to have to use an extenal pump for the loader. Would like to be able to run the 3pt and loader at the same time. I can only spend about $9,000 for the tractor. What models would you recommend that would fit this description and be a machine that would last.

Thanks for the input,
Brandon

Brandon - Are you interested only in buying a JD? If not, your question would better be asked in the non-brand-specific buying forum up top, in which case one of the moderators will move it for you. Just checking...
