This is my first post and, full disclosure, I have no real tractor experience. I'm going to be leaning on this forum and some friends who are much more knowledgeable than I throughout this experience.
So...the reason for being here: I have 244 acres in east Texas. Of which about 10 is cleared plus trails. We use this land for deer hunting primarily. I've become interested in buying a VERY budget friendly old tractor to help with the chores and food plot planting at our land. Most of my time on this new-to-me machine will be spent mowing and discing the food plots. Initially, I planned to buy an 8N. After reading quite a bit, it appears there may be better options for my use at a similar price point.
I've come across a package deal for a gasoline powered Massey Ferguson 35, 5' mower and 5' disc - none of which will win any beauty contests. I have, however, been ensured the tractor starts and runs really well. Tires are dry rotted but hold air. The 3point works well as long as the clutch isn't depressed - if it is, the implement goes to the ground Any ideas what this could be? The guy wants $2,500 for the package.
Does anyone think this tractor wouldn't be a good fit for what I need?
