I did much the same thing. Got an old self propelled swather, square baler and though all I would need was the M. Then I got a bigger tractor with a 3 point to run a snow blower in the winter. Then I put in more cows. That lead to a loader on the bigger tractor, a diesel with 3 point and power steering. Upgrades included a round baler which in turn lead to a swing arm haybine. Then I needed something smaller that I could get affordable and available implements for to do our garden and food plots. A plow for the M would have been 600 or so. Disk almost impossible to find in that size. That lead to the 8N and now 10 implements. Cat 1 3 point implements were available both new and used. I picked up a plow and 2 cultivators for what a plow for the M would cost. Disk for 350, 5 foot hog for 375, post auger for 300, modified a 4 row DJ corn planter to 2 row 3 point. Made a sprayer, 3 point mount. It's been a workhorse. The M sits idle most of the time. In it's day the M was a great tractor. But today, to make it usable, it would need add on power steering, live hydraulics and 3 point. Well there is 2000-2500 just for the modifications. Add that to the value of the M and you now have the money to buy a slightly newer tractor with those items already on them. Or you could buy an 8N and some implements.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
