northern MN
I have been that route. We put 4700 hrs on a 85e and another 5000 on a 55. They were terrific tractors, economical and no repair issues but the two track system is not good in my application (working wet beet ground, scuffing on the ends) . The quad is a caddilac but the mantainance issues are $$$$$. I dont think it is worth the cost.
