They make an economy 3010S which is actually a pretty stout tractor. It's rated at 42 pto hp so it's got a little more power than your current 3000. Plus it has wet brakes, a lot better steering, and the front end is a lot stronger. It's got the same 8x2 transmission, with 3rd and 4th and 7th and 8th synchroed. Really a nice machine. And don't be intimidated by the economy label. It's got the same warranty as the TN series. Which would be another replacement. That series ranges from 42 to 57 pto hp and are completly new tractors. All new designs that are suppose the stuff. Click on the link at the bottom to learn more. The MF 200 series aren't bad tractors either. My neighbor has farmed with them for years now and that's all he buys. He's well satisfied and really uses equipment(but he also takes really good care of it). Might also want to look at Deere's advantage series. They make a 40 and 48 pto hp. These are also an economy class tractor. I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of Deere's, not becase it's bad equipment, it's really just about the same as everything else(I really do feel like everybody makes good and bad), but it does seem to be quite a bit more expensive. These are just some ideas. I'm sure others have more. They're a lot of good tractors out being made by a lot of different companys. And it's a buyers market. Most dealers are hurting just like evrybody else in the ag sector. Best of luck.
