Good question. Didn't realize there was a New Holland dealer here, but I see there is. Quick bit of google-fu seems they might be close. Both neighbors bought their tractors from an outfit in AR that even with shipping beat local price enough to add implements.

I'm not married to any brand. But I can't afford a Deere, or a Kubota, and I haven' the time or experience to work on an older model that is going to give me fits. Thus I'm shoehorned into a new or newish model from someone with support local.



New Holland compact tractors are made by LS.

Go with the best dealer.

My NH dealer says the Workmaster tractors are okay for hobby farm use, but didn't think they be a fit for me as hard and as many hours as I use a tractor.


It'll come down to price for comparable models. I'll talk to the NH dealer monday, and see where they are at. I'm looking at pretty low hours, but when I use it, it'll be used. If that makes sense. What I've read elsewhere online is just by LS and use the savings to buy implements.
