Your tractor prices are making me angry. They are seriously 25% less where you are. 

Older but will last forever. 4x4 but no power steering and geared transmission, I believe.

Go super obscure with this UTV-like tractor with a loader and snow blower.

A fixer upper. I hate you. This is a 5k tractor in Michigan.

This would be all of the tractor you need. For reals. Kubota, 4x4, power steering, hydrostatic, with belly mower and loader. These can take front snowblowers too.

And another of the same.

But I would still buy the 750 JD you posted in Embden as it is $2k less than everything else and in the same size/HP class.

The Case is a good buy at $2500, I think, but it is limited by its size. You won't be snow blowing with that (unless you rig one up on the back like the tiller) or using many other implements like a mower or brush hog unless you can find some of the older attachments used. If you use it purely for a loader than I think it is a good buy. That being said, if that was near me I would be VERY tempted.

Do you think this could replace what your excavator was going to do?
