In Iowa the little Fords are a lot less asking price than what you are seeing. That said there was a lot of farming done with them, more than you are planning. The same style but a better tractor would be the Massey Fergusons, Oliver 550, IH 300, 350, 340, 244, 454, 504, 460, 606 and 656 utilities. I know the IH tractors will have a live PTO and hydraulics which makes a lot handier and a safer tractor to operate. Most are also newer. Most of The older IH utilities (300, 350, 460)if they had a power lift attachment on the rear would have been a 2 point (fast hitch) from the factory. That is not the same as a "3 Point that would become the norm. There were conversion kits to go from 2 point to 3 point, but I never used one. The 2 points on the 560 and 706, 806 that I was familiar with had a fixed width between lower arms. That might make it difficult to hook up 3 point equipment. I spent most of the summer on an Oliver 550 when I was 18 and thought it was a good tractor. I used it with a bush hog mower, on a state property. My neighbor had a Massey Ferguson 60 industrial with a loader. It was a good loader tractor, but I think the Live PTO was a little bit of an odd design for what I consider "Live power". The Allis Chalmers were a different breed also. Their answer to the power lifting hitch was the Snap coupler, which I am not familiar. They also had something different than the "Live Power" that IH had. The Allis tractors were a lower profile than the other row crop tractors of the era. Not to forget Case, until the late 50's did they not have a "utility tractor" . Someone will correct me if I am wrong, I hope, which is quite probable. If you are planning on towed equipment forget the 2 point- fast HITCH,/3 point/Snap coupler and Case Eagle Hitch part of the discussion. Our neighbor had a 2020 JD utility. I thought that is was a great tractor with a loader and spent many hours on it, although a little light on the rear. I think from what I have heard the 1020 utilities were good also. I probably spent less than an hour on one, but it did what I expected of it. I have heard less flattering things about the 1010 and 2010 JD tractors. I am not sure, but I think the gas engines were OK but the Diesel engines had design defects. Again someone hopefully will correct me if I am wrong. Previous to the thousand series deere's, their utilities were a very low production number unit and never saw one.

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you. I can think of a few common, ordinary sounds in my daily life, too.
