im considereing a new tractor myself ive a MF 565, its well nackered. same amount of usage as origional post (lely splendimo 205, 10ft cattle tailor, round bales, transport box, roller etc.. all light-ish stuff (mower is hard on the mf 565, trailor full of cattle is hard on the 565)).id like to stick to a Massey too, and when i but one its likely to do me 15 + years.
SO
whats justification to get 4x4 - allot more fuel consumed?, a 4x4 might be wasted on me?
i was looking /thinking 390T initially (great machines i hear), id like to get something a little newer if possible but unsure if [for my usage] getting a MF 4200 or MF 4300 is justified, is there much difference between 4200 vs 4300? its prob going to be the only tractor i buy and looking towards a budget of say 23K - any guidence appreciated.
