Farm little bit on small scale. Mostly soybeans. Use a 140 for most my work. When retire probably farm little more. Like to 140 and can handle most my work with that. But would like to get bigger tractor. Had considered several 3020 5000 etc. However, have about decided I could spend less and maybe get an M or Super M with the hydraulics couplers and would come out cheaper would be nice to have something little larger to disk with. At auction past weekend and saw an M good shape with single hydraulic hose go for 3100 in good shape. Have never run tractor with hydraulics couplers so I assume some are single coupler setups some double. Assume with M I described you would plug hose from the unit on the disk into the coupler and it would raise and lower. Am I correct? Suppose later when do retire and farm little larger could resale the tractor and upgrade again. I have understood that he M and Super M's are tough machines though I've never actually done much work with one. Spent most my time on a 140 or 3000 ford when we tended about 40ac tobacco. Do you reckon my thinking is right on this? And if so what do I need to look at before seeing about buying one. I would prefer a Super M though they are little harder to come by. What are the major wear areas etc? Appreciate thoughts from those you who know more than me. Thanks.
