Yesterday I purchased a used 2001 New Holland 45 hp tractor with 187 hours on it plus a bush hog out the door for 15,800. If I had bought the same tractor new it would have cost me over 20,000. Buying a used tractor is the way to go if you aren't using it all the time. i to bought mine to mow my fields and put in some food plots. Good luck with your purchase
