Lots of good info so far and not really sure if I can add much too it. Old and new mean different things to different people. To me mid 90's is new which is old to others. Depending on your repair abilities "old" could make more sense, if you rely on a dealer for repairs probably not. The advantage of "old" is that you can buy 2 1970's-80's era tractors for 50-75% of the cost of a 10year old machine. If they are sized similar you have a backup tractor, if things don't break then you save time of hooking/unhooking implements and gives room to grow the operation. Personal preference for me is multiple late 1970's era tractors, it makes sense to me and my operation but every person/operation is different.
