Before you buy be sure and drive them. Check out turning distance without using a brake, make sure you can turn around on seat without knee hitting controls. The size of hydraulic pump, number of rear remotes......I have a 06 Kubota M9540 HDC12 with a LA1353 loader on it.My rear wheel rims are cast iron more weight and it has high capisity lift on rear 7000 lbs Be sure and get one that front loader can be take off easily. I have the quick disconnect on mine....I just turned over 1400 hrs on it.......If I had it to do over again I would have bought a JD 6340 115 hp with premium cab but I use my tractor almost every day......Back then they wanted $55,000 for this tractor I ended up paying $44,000.....

You should really look at Branson. I bought a new 55 hp about a year ago and I have been really happy with it. Not sure how it compares to New Holland, but my decision came down to a Deere or Branson. I ended up with a Branson based on the cummins engines, better warranty, and overall more features than the Deere. Also, it was about $10,000 less than the Deere for an apples to apples tractor.
