So it looks like I’m fixing to sell my 3 year old JD which I have
only put 42 hours on. I have literally only had it out of the barn
maybe 3-4 times in the last year. Now I’m starting to think I don’t
want to sell it but the old boy already has a loan going at his bank.
I guess this way I will pay off the rest of my 0% loan to JD and have
some cash left and not have a monthly payment on something I am not
using that much. So that is why a while back I was talking about
cheaper tractors. I think I still need on around. As we discussed
before I prefer diesel and prefer one with a loader, but what about
if I found one without a loader and added one later? Or would I be
money ahead getting to whole thing at once. I think I want to spend
about $4-5k on one if possible. Or I might just wait and get one
later. Here are a few I have seen for sale. Some of these are more
that I have to spend but might have to pony it up a bit. If anybody
cares to look at these and let me know what you think. My JD was my
first tractor and I know next to nothing about what might be a good
deal or a POS
2656 International Tractor With Loader
https://fortsmith.craigslist.org/grd/d/2656-international-tractor/6502019384.html
Good tractor, but the hydrostatic still scares me. maybe other know
more about the workings/cost to rebuild, but a clutch, pressure plate
and throwout bearing are cheaper. No concerns about gas for the few
hours you use it. do a formal or informal compression test. That is
a good loader. Other than the hydrostat, a great tractor and fair price.
Mitsubishi Tractor
https://tulsa.craigslist.org/grd/d/mitsubishi-tractor/6543071684.html
About the same as what you have. rode hard and put up wet. overpriced
FORD 4000 Tractor w/Front end loader
https://tulsa.craigslist.org/grd/d/ford-4000-tractor-front-end/6541897833.html
Decent tractor, it or the IH should be big enough to pick up small to
medium size MBs To me, both it and the Mitsu are was overpriced.
more like $2500-3500 tractors.
Good farm tractor
https://fayar.craigslist.org/grd/d/good-farm-tractor/6543546303.html
JD301 was the most popular backhoe tractor around 1970. It is the
same as a JD1530, with heavier front and rear axles and industrial
(heavy) loader vs the farm loader. Check a price guide, but I'd guess
the price is pretty close. You most likely can get your money out of
it as long as the paint is decent anytime you want to sell it. A JD
is always the easiest to sell.
Kubota L235 4wd tractor with loader, box blade, and mower
https://littlerock.craigslist.org/grd/d/kubota-l235-4wd-tractor-with/6546328399.html
Pretty much what you are selling with orange paint, and a lot less
$$$$ tied up. Good demand for Orange paint too... at resale time.
not big enough to do more.

https://littlerock.craigslist.org/grd/d/john-deere-650-tractor-4x4/6544981970.html
overpriced teeny tractor. no advantage here. no loader
john deere tractor 2150 with 175 loader in good running order
https://seks.craigslist.org/grd/d/john-deere-tractor-2150-with/6542334231.html
Less HP than the 301. You are better off with the 301. Pass.

Front loader tractor
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/grd/d/front-loader-tractor/6534949529.html
Industrial version of MF 35 Good tractor Looks like it has new tires
on the rear. $2000. it is a good buy compared to most of the others,
but only 35 HP. Might lift a 201. It is a contender. Industrial
loader is always better.
Ford 1910 4x4 Tractor 4x4
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/grd/d/fordx4-tractor-4x4/6523069764.html
Not much improvement than what you have. less $$$$ tied up
International Harvester Tractor with Backhoe and front loader
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/bar/d/international-harvester/6544792535.html
No 3 pt. Unless you need a backhoe, probably pass. If you want to
bury horses or cows, then buy it. 460 is a 4 bottom tractor. about
55-60 HP
New Holland TC25 Tractor
https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/grd/d/new-holland-tc25-tractor/6546138004.html

https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/grd/d/ford-445a-diesel-industrial/6539970665.html
a contender. 60 HP Bigger than the JD301. Bigger $$$$ too! WHO
rebuilt the engine? who knows if it was done right.
1225 Massey Ferguson Tractor w/ Loader - Diesel - 25hp
https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/grd/d/1225-massey-ferguson-tractor/6541490208.html
I'd get that MF industrial over this one any day. about like what you
have etc.
This is a scam, right?
