Need to Purchase 2 new tractors for our farm Help and Input Please

We operate a horse farm with stable and large pastures. We are preparing to purchase 2 new tractors for the farm and after looking at the Orange, Green and Blue machines, have decided that Blue is our favorite color...

Questions:
Looking at:
TC40D as the larger machine with hydrostat transmission, 16LA FEL and R4 industrial tires.

TC33D or the TC30 as the smaller, more compact tractor with hydrostat transmission, 7308 FEL and R4 industrial tires.

The NH 758 Subframe 8.5'Backhoe for the TC40D

The NH 757 Subframe 7.5'Backhoe for the TC33D or the TC30

What are the best prices each of you have found on these tractors and backhoes. I'm in WA state and the prices out here appear to be quite a bit higher then what I have seen in postings here. This is a fairly large purchase and I'd like to negotiate a tough but fair deal. Not sure what to do.

Also, please help me understand what exactly is the difference between the TC33D and the TC30. Is it just fancy sheet metal and convenience features? Are the engines, gearboxes, hydraulics and machine weight/durability the same? How valuable is SS?

Thanks kindly....

KH,

I'm new to this Board and I noticed your comment below... Would you please elaborate a bit for me or refer me to a previous message string I have missed... Thanks very much,

"The 7308 is a good loader and with a slight trist on the valve with a screwdriver, it makes a remarkable difference."
