my buddy is even looking for tractors for me.an he found a MF 393 4 Wloader 2700hrs for $17500 .sounds like a real good deal esp when a new MF 573 4 COST $31500 NEW.
It would probably be a good size for you though. At least until you get big equipment and need bigger tractor. At first the tractor will be big enough for the equipment you buy but, then you will decide you need just a little more horse power so here comes another tractor. A little more horse power means the equipment can get a little more bigger. Just don't get caught up in the cycle to far or you'll end up broke!
its big enough to pull the equipment i have.i have lots of farm toys.have an JD 95 combine.an old JD F-BB drill.a big heavy chisel plow.an a big heavy leveling plow.as well as a 5 bottom plow.
oh yeah i forgot the big 12 to 14ft athens disk.the 7700 pulls all the equipment.mom goes boy your fixing to get to meny irons in the fire.you better slow down an finish some projects.an i have 3 projects going now im working on a small catch pasture.an adding to my corral.as well as buying cows once or twice a year.an i really need to pick up about 20 more cows.then i can get the tractor with ease.
