While I dearly love the John Deere 730LP I grew up on, it is simply too big and heavy to be remotely practical, not to mention is that it is SLOW!
I want something with a wide front for general stability and ease of trailer loading but, I really don't know much about these small ag tractors or really where to start my search and learning process.
Basically, I want something that is an over grown 'golf cart' with a little historic value that is easy to maintain and is reliable. I am ambivalent about a hand crank option but, think it would be a good idea for shows in Minnesota. I should note I live in East Texas and grew up in Oklahoma wheat fields.
The little Allis Chalmer options seem to be in the ~$2500 range which seems popular around me. In the upper MidWest corn country, little International tractors seem super popular. Something like a John Deere GP might be an option as well. What I really can't figure out are the older Case tractors, which I have am some affinity too from my youth on 930's just like the JD 730LP 'Wheatland' or standard tractor.
The Prewar gasoline tractors, on rubber, are where my primary interest is at the moment but, post-WW2 tractors have their merits as well and are probably a better option for me due to general parts availability and general support.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
