Mark, Don't confuse "modern" engine with an engine which has over and over passed the test of time. The engine design you have in your 140 has been used for over 60 years, and is a proven workhorse. And while you can indeed buy newer, I doubt you can buy better. For the acerage you have, I doubt you can find a better tractor to do what you intend. as Hugh alluded to, if you dont like the one point hitch, a three point is easilly installed. The hydraulics on the 140 are excellent, and with independent rock shafts for front and rear, makes that tractor a very versitle tractor indeed. my suggestion is that unless your 140 is in deplorable condition, which I assume it is not, then why go out and shell out money for a tractor which is doubtful will provide you with more than you already have.
