The 2255 is probably a better investment as it seems the go for $8000 and up. I would make sure I got the 3208 and the fender fuel tanks. The 7040 you should be able to buy cheap but once you own it it's yours. The heads tend to crack, they don't start good unless you rebuild it with the M&W engine kit, and they love the fuel (about 8 gals/hr). I did a 7010 for a neighbor and it would start in zero weather without ether and when he chopped with it it only used 3.5 gals/hr. Not as strong as the other two but it does the job. The tractor works real nice but if it only had the power of a good 1066.
