asking that vague of question is like asking a 1000 ppl what is the best food to eat as everyone
has a differant opinion on what's best
you don't say what your plans for it would be.
I see in your other post you have limited repair skills.
nothing wrong there if you want to learn how to fix things on older tractors then great.
even a new tractor will need repairs but you will get a warrenty with them.
depending on what you get will also depend on what dealerships are near you for getting parts.
this site supports most makes of older tractors as well.
most parts for most tractors are out there and most ford tractors have easier parts to find then
most.
john deere are pretty well supported by dealers.
but any part could take days to weeks to get for anything new or old.
if all you plan to use it for is grass cutting get a zero turn or garden tractor.
I cut 8 acres of grass with a cud cadet zero turn and previously with a white garden tractor
if you plan on some light loader work and some gardening, snow removal I would look at the
compacts.
Kabota probably makes the best dependable compacts out there that last for yrs.
JD does as well.
most all makes have them and they are pretty dependable.
with only a 1 acre lot you won't want a larger tractor as they do weigh a lot and WILL leave ruts
on your lawn when damp.
if your plan is to have a tractor to show off at shows or parades then any older tractor will
have a great following and you'll quickly learn it'll take months to yrs rebuilding one and
finding parts.
good luck in your search and let us know what your plans are

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
