Greetings- I was hoping some of you "in the know" may be able to help me with a decision I'll be making in the near future. My wife and I have recently purchased 5 acres of land and I want to buy a tractor to use as a workhorse as we build our home. I am particularily fond of the Farmall M. I prefer a wide-front because our land has a gentle slope (about 4-5 degrees). My wife is concerned that a narrow front tractor will rollover(?) My kids will likely be driving the tractor at some point. My oldest son is soon to be 6. I primarily need a blade, a bucket loader, and a finish mower. My friends are trying to steer me towards an 8N saying that the implements I want are more easily located for a Ford tractor rather than a Farmall. Could you guys please share some info with me... I have located a Farmall H that is near me with a snow blade, that sounds like it could be a good option but I'm still looking. I found a wide front M model yesterday sitting along the highway. It didn't look bad, but need rubber (front and rear). Could you guys give me an idea what a set of tires cost for an M? Also, can you help prove or dispell the myth that a narrow front end is easy to roll over? Thanks - I look forward to your replies. Tom in PA

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
