What first budget tractor?

[swinny]

Hi all, may be looking for a tractor soon.

 

Duties would be running log splitter, possibly processor at some point. Need to have a loader fitted/ or can be fitted at some point, Maybe go on the road with a 3.5-4 tonne tipping trailer at the back.

 

Seen a few tractors about,

 

Whats international 444 like? ALso david brown 990 selectamatic?

 

What would you suggest and what hp?

 

Any help appreciated

 

Cheers

Depending on your budget? I like my ford 10 series with loader.

 

If you are after a half decent cheap tractor i would recommend a leyland much overlooked in my eyes, I have this one for sale Leyland 253 Tractor - Large Compact Tractor - Ideal Sawbench Splitter Tractor | eBay

fords are good, cheap parts easy to fix, some had few glitches but ultimately if your half handy with a spanner there ain't much you can't do! 6610 something like that, would be good!

Both the david brown and the international are about a grand.

 

The david brown is 57hp and the international is 42hp or 40hp

 

Aparently the david browns are bad for hydraulics?

 

any help?

[MikeTM150]

DB's are prone to poor hydraulics, but if your not going to be working it hard and all day you'll probably find they'll never give you much of a problem.
