Whoa! Those JD bing a lot of dough! I live MN too. I think you could get a lot more tractor/implements for what you want to spend. If you're particular to the JD's get a 2510, 2520 or a 3010 with a loader. Or you could go with a international 560, 656, 706.. It's probably more tractor than you need though. I wouldn't write off the older gas tractors yet. Just make sure you get something with live pto, live hydraulics, wide front and powersteering and a 3 pt hitch. It's usually cheaper to buy a tractor with a loader vs buying a loader separately.

Here's a link to a guy in northern minnesota who fixes and resells tractors. His advice is free too...

Since you're in Elk River, you could check out the IH dealer in New Prague, MN.
H & W Equipment Co.
500 4th Avenue Sw
New Prague, MN 56071
Phone: (952) 758-4545 Fax: (952) 758-4496
Full Line Ag Products, Skid Steer Loaders
Approximate distance: 16 miles (25 km)

One of their retired mechanics restores and sells the older tractors. They usually have 6-10 on the dealer lot. Or he can usually find a specific one for you.

Personally I think you could get buy with a JD 60 or 70, or a Farmall 300, 350, 400, 450 easily. You can get a really nice restored/overhauled one in the $3000 to $4000 range. Then you'd have some money left over for a bush hog and a loader.
