Old has it right on about everything. A good friend who knows tractors AND the kind of land you live on is a valuable asset. The local tractor dealer is another thing you need to look at. With only one tractor you will want parts and service close by because you don't have a backup tractor. Most of the replies mentioned low center of gravity utility type tractors. This type of tractor can be easier to get on and off of for stopping to open gates and the such, and it's also more stable on slopes. I don't know what the terrain is in the area you will be in, but Oklahoma is NOT all flat land. I harvested wheat in Oklahoma on slopes that'll make you clench your butt cheeks, especially going of the wrong side of a terrace. Live PTO is a nice to have for spraying if you are using a hand wand and need to stop and go, or if you are using the boom and want to slow down momentarily to really soak some weeds you have a vendetta against. Good luck and let us know what you came up with. Jim
