I am looking for an older (pre 1970) tractor in the 70 plus HP range that I can use to do basic field work like plowing with a 4 bottom 14" trailer plow on hilly ground, pulling a 12ft culti-mulcher and 12ft disk, and maybe running a 7ft snow blower in the winter. Fuel economy is not an issue since I will not be putting more than 50 to 100 hours a year, so I am open to a gas tractor.
I would like a tractor with a good reputation for reliability. Also , since I will do all the maintenance myself, I would like a tractor that is relatively easy to work on, and where the parts are still readly available and easy to find. My price range is $3500 to $4500.
Currently I own a JD 620, JD 730 gas and a late model JD-A, but they just don't have the power I need.
I have been kind of looking at Olivers like the 1850 Perkins because of the what I have been told about that tractor being very reliable, and very easy to get parts because of the Perkins, but I am open to other recommendations also.
