Great question and sounds like lots of fun in your future! I farm about 30 acres and I have 8 tractors, only because they are mostly very old and low cost. But I do use them all for something. But I have to admit that probably more than half of the work gets done with the one tractor I bought new, a New Holland TC48DA with loader and front wheel assist. The only jobs it is not good at are the primary tillage or heavy pto work such as round baling. So for plowing and disking and baling, I use the big John Deeres such as 3020 and 4020. But I did recently pick up a Ford 3600 diesel, because it was going to sell for less than $4,000 until I started bidding. And I really like that tractor for odd jobs. It is heavy and powerful enough that if I only could keep one tractor, I could probably get by with it. But I always have a long list of fixing to do on the tractors at any given time, so I agree with the others that you should look at a nearly new one that will give you several years of trouble free use. You can always pick up an antique along the way to add to the fleet if you want one to pull the manure spreader while you load it with the other.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
