Updating my 1086, looking at a clean 7110 with 2800 hours... also considering a couple different 140a tractors with 1200 to 1700 hours. Money is close to the same. What do you do and why? Make hay, may plow and disc to reseed but no other row crop work. Longevity, amount of depreciation over next 15 yrs... or do you spend little more and get a 500 hr newer tractor?

CIH Farmall 140a is no where close to the tractor a 7110 is. While a 7110 is a bit clumsy for hay work its twice the tractor.
140a - under 10,000 lbs, open centre hydraulics, 8 speed gear drive, some with a splitter and reverser. Made in turkey or somewhere with fiat heritage. Likely a dry pto clutch like the smaller fiat cih's. 6.7 in older, only a 4.5 L in newer models.
7110 - 15-20,000 lbs, good closed centre load sensing hydraulics, robust power shift and wet clutch pto. 8.3 that can be turned up to 150-175 hp easy peasy and the tractor will survive.
