This is going to sound really stupid...

But a spacious cab with comfort and a buddy seat is somewhat important to me when looking and dreaming...

What is a cheaper tractor that would be non articulated and 200+ hp and have a spacious cab and a buddy seat? Caleb1456

I would look for a new holland tg215, t8020. Same as cih, but normally cheaper due to being blue. I've had good luck with mine. hinfarm

Mx 240,270,285. Prices are a bit soft on these IMO due to caps issues and other electrical gremlins. Good cab, lots of tractor for less bucks. WItitan2

Massey 2805/2800. You said cheap! Very spacious, should be able to put a buddy seat in. Buy a nice 8000 Deere. You can buy a good one for $45000 frytownfarmer

We have a 8770 NH too. Cab isnt big enough for two adults to be comfortable. A child would be fine seated on the cup holder area next to door in ours. Saw one with a buddy seat there too. Ours is running 210 hp. 8770s have a smaller fuel pump then 88s and 89s. Rest of tractor the same.

I had to get a key for it, it’s a Mx ih. The rops says 7140. I don’t know much about it but want $30,000 for it. GrainTrader

dr brown is probably referring to the MTX or XTX series tractors. Example MTX 200

2210 versatile would be ok

The first McCormicks was basically the old MX line. Alot of case engineering.

Hey Brian I've got a salesman at a case dealer I work with over in your area. He is honest and as straight forward as they come. We have bought 4 pieces of equipment from him in the last 3 years. On every deal we have done, I've felt we got a good deal on each piece and there service has been excellent

If you want his contact info let me know. Give him a price you want to pay and what you need in the tractor and he will work at finding you a good unit. GrainTrader

Not sure what price level you are looking but the Magnum 180's are a good value. I chipped mine up to 240 hp since the Magnum 225 are the same tractor. I see them in the 80's.

Why not look at an AGCO? Either the 8000 series Whites or the DT series, same tractor, but different color. 8.3L Cummins and 18sp Funk powershift (same as the NH but 2 more gears). The A series got the Sisu and Fendt CVT

Well that's a broad range. Are you looking for 200hp high hrs or low hrs? Or 290 hp high or low hrs? What is your idea of cheap? 260 hp with 1000 hrs and under for $105000? 260 hp and under for $80000 with under 2000hrs. 260 hp and under for 60000 with 5000hrs. Kinda big range unless we would know your hour and price range. How many acres you running over? Is this your main tractor? How many hrs a year do plan you put on? Need to know your situation to be able to give you accurate information.
On another note ,I'm a Massey guy and I wouldn't touch a 2000 series Massey unless it was an 8 sp. It would have to be above 10000 serial number ,only pulled in intermediate, and I knew the owner to touch a 24sp. Plus they are just getting to old for anyone who would put over 100hrs a year on. Parts are parts and none are cheap. Especially when the CVT tractors are coming down in price and are far superior. A $20000 a year pymt for 5 years will get you one hell of nice loaded low hr Challenger D series CVT.

I have a 2009 Challenger 665b for sale. Email is in profile if interested

I'm a bargain hunter if there ever was one.... When I think of SPENDING $5000, I'm hoping to find a "$6000+ tractor" for 5 grand. And I also don't want a tractor under 40hp (pto....the only REAL way to rate hp)

So....following my criteria..........no 4wd's....Nothing "new"....Unless it's slap worn out....

Gotta go back in time a bit. IMHO, tractors from the 60's 70's and even early 80's are a better choice as an older used tractor than the newer (but still well used) models. Less "technology" to go wrong.....Plus, from my experience, tractors of ALL brands from mid 80's through late 90's had "quality issues" as the production shifted overseas. Once they got a handle on building tractors in the Orient, quality improved a bit. But in general, 80's and 90's weren't the "glory years" for imports. (There are a few exceptions, albeit rare)

For $5000, you can get a number of tractors that'll work an 8N into the ground....Not that N's were "bad tractors", they're not. Just a little under powered, out dated, and less than capable compared to many other possibilities. N's sell in the $1800 and under range around here. You get what you pay for....

So.....With your budget balanced against "what's out there"..... I'd suggest looking for the best example of a handful of these models.

My personal favorite(s) commonly found $5000 and under;

Massey Ferguson 35/50/65/135/150/165/240/245/250/255

Ford 3000/3600/4000/4600

John Deere 820/830/1020/1520/1530/2020 (Not many JD's under $5000 without going WAY back in time)

IH 444/454/574

I've owned just about all of those on my list at one point or another. Without question, the most reliable, best all around tractor I've ever been on (regardless of size/cost/year) has been my Massey Ferguson 150. The Perkins AD3-152 diesel is a frugal with fuel as any tractor I know of to this day. Good power, good balance, handy size, and rugged reliability, it's been the single best piece of equipment I've ever owned. They'll sell for under $4000 in average condition, and I've seen some mint 150's in the $5000 to $5500 range. At one point, I owned a Ford 3000 and an IH 454 at the same time as my MF150. The Massey would work circles around either and do it on less fuel. The 150 is everything good about a MF135 and a bunch more. After 40+ years of service, my 150 is STILL my "go to" tractor, even with 16 other tractors in my inventory. (13 of those are NEWER tractors too)

Of course, you could go with a much smaller tractor of newer age....Just NOT something I'd be interested in. BTDT...Got a little Kubota that I find just about useless.
