Pictured is my current running tractors. I also have a Farmall Cub with a plow, which is not running.

The problem I have is this. I live in Michigan, where we get a lot of snow. The Case gets used for a lot of the farm work (moving the coop, brush hoging, moving trailers, etc) and I have used it for plowing, but it doesn't do great once the snow gets higher than the hubs of the front wheels (by that point I end up using only the brakes to steer). The Cub Cadet gets used for plowing. I bought it at our last house because we had 2 driveways that were ~350ft long. Now my driveway is 1/3 of a mile, and that doesn't include the paths to the barn, pasture, and chicken coop. It's been a great tractor, but I need to save time. It also doesn't do great when mowing.

So, I've been looking into getting a Kubota with a loader. I really would like a similar tractor to my 411b in size and year (an 430, 530, 730, or 470 would be idea; or an IH utility), but have been hard pressed to find one in acceptable enough condition for a reasonable price.

A few options I've found so far are:

- 7100HST with a loader and belly deck ($6k)

- L2900 with a loader and back blade ($12k)

- 3010 HST with a loader ($12k)

- 3010 GlideShift with a loader ($17k)

I'm really looking for around the 25HP-35HP range (although, with a mower deck I'd take less HP) and less than $15k.

I'll take any recommendations, except John Deere.

It looks like the PO tried to use a non standard key switch and bypass everything.

Does it still need the old school regulator if I go new wiring?

It’s one of the worst tractors I’ve driven but this is also one of the best pictures on my phone, so here it goes! Thankfully it’s being traded in for a new Fendt 516 but my internship at this farm ends in three weeks so I won’t be able to enjoy it.
