Okay Agri guys.... Need some input.
I am looking to buy a tractor. Somewhere between a 42 and 60 HP Diesel 4WD Tractor. I really like the Deutz Fahr Agrolux 60 ( http://www.samedeutzfahr.com/df-products.html ), but know NOTHING about their realiability. PTO is rated at 57 HP, can obviously run a 15' batwing, 6' cutter, and a 6' loader, etc., etc.
What do you know about these? The SAME dealership sells Massey, and said the DF is a far superior product. I was looking at a Kubota, but I understand they are slightly lighter duty products (not from this guy, but other sources).
ALSO.... Price on this model (no attachments) is $19,800, with the industrial tires (dont need agri tires). That seems to be a pretty good deal to me, but I dont know for sure. I can get into a 50 HP with a 6' Aleo Loader all ready on there for $21,000, so that might fit me better. (I will probably get a 10' batwing, not the 15', so the 60 HP might be a little much).
Now the other problem. The Dmax will yank it fine. But will be splitting it with the old man and he has a 5.3L Tahoe. Bumper pull trailer not a problem. Less than 10K.
Sorry mods if this might be off topic, but this site sees a lot of guys that use these type of products, and I did pay my dues. I really need some input here before I spend ~$30,000 on something.
