I am new to antique tractors. I have always wanted one and after driving my father in laws 8N for a week or so out at his property I am HOOKED!!. Someone told me to get 40 to 50 hp and independent PTO so I would have something that could do all that I would like it do without worrying about overworking it.
I researched a bit and have decided on the 1963/1964 Ford 4000. It will be used for hobby farm 10 to 15 acres for Bush hog, finish grass cutting, post hole digging, general field transport and whatever needs come up. I would like to get a front loader for it also at some point. At 54hp and live pto
it seems like the perfect antique tractor for me. Seems the used prices around VA,NC,PA,TN run from 3500 to 5000 depending. I am in Richmond VA..so I plan on driving a couple
hrs to get one.
Im not sure about Gas or Diesel yet.. I could use some advice on that.
I read a lot about staying away from the SOS transmission and to make sure I get on with power steering if I plan on using a front loader. I have some other questions I am hoping someone can help me with. I know there will some basic newbie questions from me on here but hey,.. you have to start some where!
