I have a small organic beef farm and currently have a JD 730 gas, JD 620 and JD B that I use for all my haying and field work. I would like to buy a newer tractor of 4 cylinders with 60 to 75 HP. Something reliable that starts in cold weather and with parts easily available if I have to fix it. I want to mainly use it in the winter to run a snow blower, and in the summer to do field work like bush hogging, raking, planting etc.
I don't want to spend more than $5000 or $6000 . I have narrowed it down to a JD 3020 gas or a Massey 175 gas. If anyone can give me some insight on which might be better or maybe another tractor I can consider, I would greatly appreciate the help. I have no experience with 4 cyl tractors. Everything I have used has been JD 2 cyl.
