New Tractor Proces Make It Easy.....

Posted by Bill VA on August 12, 2017 at 18:28:53 from (216.24.79.193):

Went to the WV State Fair today and gawked at the latest equipment there, including new tractors. WOW - from my wallet's point of view, 65-90ish PTO hp tractors were tagged for special event pricing from $38K to over $68K

I told my wife, I think you could go through an equivalent hp IH, JD, Case, Oliver or AC tractor, including buying it for a fraction of that money.

Been window shopping my IH 756 for an engine rebuild or replacement. Those prices make me think it's an easy button to refurb my tractor and probably have a better, longer lasting one too at the end of it.

Question is - what model tractor would you buy in the 70-100 PTO hp, how much would you consider spending to buy it and from there, how much $$$$'s would it take to make it a reliable, like new tractor for years to come?

Say a JD4020 or an IH826 - comparable machines. Could you buy one of these, pour $$$$'s into it and have a like new tractor and how much would that take, including purchase price, $15k, $20k, $30k or better off spending $50k+ on a new tractor?

I'm of the opinion that an 06, 56, 26, 66 and 86 series Internationals have to be a good, low cost long term investment - purchase and rebuild out there today. I just get the impression they were overbuild, powerful and sound enough to plow some goodly $$$$'s into to get as good or better tractor as some of these new tractors of equal hp - assuming you can live with an open or crude cab, noisy, but heavy duty old iron tractor.

Where's the tipping point on $$$$'s to buy and rebuild/refurb an old iron tractor of 70-100 hp vs buying new?

Just curious.

Bill
