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 - 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.
