Tractor info needed, Can you help?
I'm a fiction writer and I have a character that lives on a cotton farm in the southwest (around Yuma - Az / CA border). It takes place around 2004.
They own a tractor for plowing their small 80 acre farm. I've done tons of research on tractors and plows attachments but I'm so ignorant, I'm not really sure what I'm looking at.
Can you suggest a tractor that could have been used in 2004, but was bought in early 1980's (probably slightly used when purchased from a farm going out of business in 1980'ish). Something that a small, very poor farm would use. Plow width very small.
Name of tractor, and any pertinent details about the tractor and plow would be very helpful (links good too). Also any info on how long it takes to plow an acre with your recommendation would be helpful. my research shows width x MPH - do you think that works for your recommend tractor (the estimated vary widely). Land is flat, ground is hard but has been farmed for decades.
The tractor ends up playing a pivotal role in the mystery, so the more details I can find about it, the better. My hope is to make it as accurate as possible.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
