Before you do buy a tractor, post the make and model number on here and get some reviews.
While most tractors are good, there were a few bad apples from every manufacturer. Whether intentional or not some people will do their best to convince a potential buyer that it is a good tractor, when in reality, it might not be.
With that being said, it's best to just post what you are considering and I'm sure lots of people will chime in.
One thing I would be looking for, if I were you... Look for a tractor that won't limit you.
For example, some of the older IH tractors had something called "fast hitch" or 2 point hitch. They do make 3 point adapters for it, but, it's not as universal. Same goes for a lot of older Allis Chalmers tractors. They had something called a snap-coupler hitch. If you buy either of these types of tractors, you need specifically dsign equipment to pull behind them.

The whole point is to make sure you can do as much as possible with one machine. If you don't, you'll become a tractor hoarder like me. It's a disease.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive.
