Machinery Forum Need help choosing a tractor [ Expand ] [ View Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Return to Forum ] Posted by Steve Londner on October 04, 2002 at 10:27:22 from (66.67.240.76): Greetings, I volunteered to identify and get my hands on a good tractor for a non-profit group in Honduras. They are working to rebuild and improve people's lives, shattered by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. I asked them to check with local mechanics and tell me what they knew and recommended. They responded with JD and Fords, preferably 4WD in the 60-80 HP range. Specific models they mentioned were: JD 2030, 2440, 2640, 5000 series; Ford 5000, 6000, 7000 1) What can you folks tell me about these options? Obviously, I do not know trators. 2) Suggestions on who to approach for donations of good used equipment for a good cause? They are registered as a US non-profit and can provide paperwork for a tax deduction.
