Whatever you do, stay away from anything with tier 4 emissions. That likely means before about model year 2010 or so. I like to see under 1000 hours on the hour meter. You pay more for JD but they also hold value the best and generally have good parts support. Certainly no flies on Kubota either. They would be my top picks. That said I have a McMormick 80 hp that I bought new in 2009 that works fantastic. Case, New Holland and Massey Ferguson make good tractors too. Have heard parts can be hard to find for brands such as Mahindra and LS etc.
