Buying a used tractor is like buying a usedcar.Do your 'homework' on it .inspect it.....If you dont know how,get a friend who know tractors or have a professional inspect.Talk to a dealer'.They are not all 'shiesters'.Estate/retire ment sales are good as is local papers,craigs list has some good ones,too. A 'consignment sale' is a 'crapshoot',although there are some good tractors sold at them.Dont just go on auction day and buy. Go ahead of time(several days),look carefully,find out who owned it,why it is there. Then if possible,call the owner and find out.Look at a diesel utility from the 1960s.Ford 3000/4000;MF 135/150,or the 2x5 series. JohnDeere made several models of 30/40 horse tractors in those days. Consider who your local dealer is.Someday you will need parts or service.Or just plain advice.Doesnt matter if it's cheap,or perfect condition,if the nearest dealer is 500 miles away,yiu're S.O.L.Plan on spending 3-5 (or more)thousand dollars,but you will get a nice tractor that will serve you well for years.Sure,you can buy a worn out (junk) 1000dollar tractor,but you will be fixing,and probably wont be happy with the 'nonlive' pto/hydralics;no power steering......For an 'old hand' those things probably not matter. But,for you as a 'newby',get something modern that you wont have to work on that is easy to operate.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
