Hey everyone! New here and new to tractors. I'm located in northeast Wisconsin and have a property about 2hrs north of me in WI. I'm looking to invest in a small tractor w/ a loader to push around some dirt and spread some gravel and in winter move some snow from the driveway once it's done. My budget is in the $3k-$4k range.
I have no personal experience with tractors in terms of operation, what they're worth, etc. so i'm hoping to get some guidance here. I am mechanically inclined and have no concerns with being able to work on and fix anything when it comes to the tractor as long as i have some guidance on what needs to be done.
When i look for tractors locally, i tend to look at the 8N's because i like their size and their price seems to be in the $1500-$2500 range without a loader. If they have a loader it seems like the price basically doubles. Finding a loader without the tractor seems to be far and few between. The issue i'm worried is that this tractor will be insufficient (power wise) for my needs. Is that a valid concern?
Another tractor i've talked w/ an owner about online is a 1950's Ford 800. He's asking $4200 for it with a loader, "quick attach" and a back blade. He said the power steering pump no longer works so i'm not sure what that would take/cost to fix.
So that basically sum's up where i've been and what i'm trying to do. Hopefully you all can provide me some guidance in purchasing my first tractor!!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
