Well, the tractors from the 70's are what I can afford to buy and use now, and of those the 4020 diesel side counsel if the one I prefer most for my needs. But, back then, if all I could afford was a 40 year old tractor, I have no idea what it would have been!

Dad tells some pretty interesting stories about what that little tractor could do, and also some depressing ones. Like never having enough money for a battery so always having to crank start it. And never being able to afford tire chains in the winter for moving snow and hauling firewood. The solution was to use the one log chain they had wherever it was most needed. Either wrapped around a spinning tire to get the tractor to move, or hooked to an 8ft piece of tree being drug up for firewood.
