The problem with a lot of the older tractors is implements depending on the area. Here the farm crisis of the 80's saw most small farmers retire or fail. Many of the "made to fit" implements were not wanted or needed for the bigger guys who survived and picked up a lot of land cheap. So they went for scrap. Now both the yuppie types who think that stuff make good yard art and collectors who want to show a tractor with an implement have driven the price through the roof. Not uncommon to watch a 1 bottom trailer plow that's broken sell at auction for 300 bucks or so. Because parts are no longer available a collector buys 2 or 3 of the same model to make one. Mounted cultivators have all but disappeared too. In my area try to find a fast hitch, snap coupler or eagle hitch implement in poor condition for under 500. So for the small sustainable or organic guy here it's gotta be 3 point. Some of the old implements are spendy but you can buy new implements with good parts support. Plows, disk, cultivators, sub soilers, rear and box blades, post hole augers can be bought new. The problem is that for older row crop tractors you can spend well over 1K, near a tractors value, to add a 3 point and the hydraulics to run it. For a lot of the smaller guys and hobbyist that's not affordable. Not when you gotta buy the tractor, hitch, pump, hoses and valves plus the implements. No association but just one company's offerings https://www.howseimplement.com/ . Try finding a mounted cultivator for an A, B or C Farmall in these parts that's complete and usable.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
