I am shopping for tractors about 100 hp. I currently own a mf65 and it is too small for what I am doing. I own about 80 acres that I put up in hay. I usually get about 300 round bales off the first cutting and then about 3000 squares off the 2nd cutting.
I will also be doing some dirt work. Pulling a plow, 7ft cutting blade, etc...
In the winter, I hook up to a 7ft. snow blower.
I am looking at an IH966 for $6000 or I found a 1030 case for $3600. Both tractors are in good running shape. They both need a cab kit, but I figure that is just cosmetic stuff that I can fix as I want. I do not have experience with either tractors and I am looking for advice. I know the 966 is 10 years newer, but the 1030 is the same size and 1/2 the price. Any advice, experience would be helpful.
Is there something I should know about either one that would help my decision.
