I will not buy anything with tier 3 or 4 engines in it. They all are a nightmare of electronics, EGR, and particulate filters. All of them will have a shorter life. The manufactures tell you this if you look hard enough.
So you burn more fuel and have a tractor that will need overhauled sooner.
What Philips forgot to method is that he is talking about how tier 4 engines are getting better fuel economy than tier 3 BUT still not as good as the later pre emission engines.
The cost per hour of operation is still much higher on the newer engines. When you do need repairs they are much more costly. Many of the repairs can not be done by anyone without a computer program to reset the emission systems. The companies actually are happy about that. You can't do your own repairs on much of it now.
For a 40-50 horse power tractor I would look for a 5-10 year old one with low hours. They can be found pretty easily. Most 40-50 HP tractors are not used hard.
