We recently bought a horse farm and it came with a 2000-something Agco tractor. Being a car person, I am now kind of hooked to the tractor.
My SO and I were thinking about restoring a car, but now I'm really giving thought to restoring an older tractor instead.
I read the introduction article on this site and it said to think about what tractor we want to restore based on our needs.
So if I tell you what I think I need, could you please point me towards some makes/models that would be decent first projects?
We do have car/motorcycle restoring experience. Tractors are completely new to us!
What I THINK I need;
1. Our land is flat, so no need to worry about hills/something that can haul up a hill.
2. Would be great if it had a 3pt hitch and PTO. We have a 60" PTO finish mower that I would like to pull. I understand this may limit how old I could go.
3. No preference on make. I have not seen enough/driven enough to know good/bad/pretty.
4. No idea on HP. We don't farm or intend on pulling farm implements outside of cutting grass.
My list looks like more of an I have no clue what I actually need...
