What tractor should I buy

How times change
I bought a 565 sometime in the late 90s for £2750 . Off farm. Sold it 12 months later for the same . It had a Grays Lynkon loader and dung fork . Little to no rust . Hard started when cold . Pto running full time . Biggest issue I had , it broke front stub axles like they were made from carrots. Well able to lift a 2nd cut bale of silage with the loader .
The price of tractors has gone mental. I know a lad who spent near 6 grand doing up his 188 10 years ago and he sold it in 2013 for around 5000.
 

I know of a neighbour who has gotten great use from an International much like this. Don't know the first thing about them myself.

As has been said anything for under €4-5k is going to be fairly rough.
Front axle was always a soft point on international. In their day they were a good tractor independent pto and hydraulic,hydrostatic steering and fast hydraulic
 
I know where there is a John deere 3130 which got an engine rebuild some years ago and has done very little since.i don't think it has a loader tho, will be bought for that kind of money
