If you are wanting a "farm tractor" then here is something that will help. If you buy brand new you will pay $15,000-$30,000 for a tractor suitable for the size land you have. Most come with a warranty but here is the thing, I owe an old ferguson TO-35, my father in law has a Ford 8n and a newer Kioti. The 8n has an air filter and that is it. My Ferguson has an air filter and an oil filter. The Kioti has air, oil, hydraulic, and fuel filters. If you go hydro then add another filter. My Ferguson takes 7 gallons of 80- 90w oil to fill the transmission, the Kioti takes 14! My Ferguson takes 6 quarts of my oil, Kioti takes 7. Now the Ferguson has points that can burn up and a condenser and coil. Those parts do need replaced from time to time. It is also carbureted so it needs cleaned and adjusted from time to time. The Kioti is all electronic, PTO engages with a button, 4wd engages with a button, things that can short out or quit working over time. We got the A 2008 Kioti 38 HP 4wd with a loader, finishing mower, and 7ft sickle bar for $14,500. I traded a hay tedder for my tractor and I had to drop $200 into electrical and fuel components to get it started, $200 into a hydraulic pump, $500 in tires and $100 in fluids. Plus I spent $200 on various other parts. I have close to $1500 in the tractor, which I got for free because the tedder was gave to me and I bought a hay take and had another tedder thrown in on the deal. I can go out and fire that tractor up with no trouble and do what ever I want with it.
Sorry for the long post but I would recommend for light duty work a Ford 8n with a finish mower and an over run clutch in the PTO. If you plan on using a tractor for more than mowing then I recommend a MF35 or 50. The ford does not have live power or live hydraulics so your PTO must be engaged to raise the lift. For a mower tractor I don't like that. The ferguson or Massey Ferguson 35 is roughly the same size and the deluxe ferguson which is what I have has live power and live hydraulics, and all models of Massey I believe have both. The old tractors are easy to work on and an 8n Ford can be picked up for around $1200 on CL and a finish mower from $300 up to $2000.

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.
