I dont know your budget but if you are wanting a loader tractor, to move snow and move bales, I would be looking at a 4wd tractor. While there were some 4wd tractors available during the 1970s , they became very common during the 80s . I have had 2wd tractors with loaders, and yes you can get by with them, but tire chains and rear weight on the 3pth is necessary, or you will sit and spin, while being stuck on nothing once you pick the loader up. Particularly with a bale on the front end loader. Personally I would stay away from gas tractors. They were all built for gasoline that contained led, and not ethanol. If you can plug in a diesel, they can start every bit as well as a gas tractor will. I have owned several IH and CaseIH tractors over the years. and I found the 584-585 684 685 and the 884 -885 tractors to be reasonable tractors, but I would only buy one that has a shuttle shift, as the dry clutch models will go through a clutch every 1500-2000 hours. Biggest downside to the IH/CaseIH tractors in this series is the fact they have one common hydraulic fluid, for transmission,hydraulic, and brakes. And brakes particularly the parking brake as they wear, do put particulate in Hydraulic fluid. And unless you use the CaseIH Hytran or a similar high temperature hydraulic oil, the brakes will deteriorate very quickly . I have no experience with JD equipment, only to say if you do look at JD, buy a tractor that was built in USA. Not one from Mexico, or Germany. They are all the same colour, but not all equal in quality. Engines, transmissions and particularly hydraulic pumps gallons per minute will not be the same. JD built in USA tractors will be very good, and they will cost more. You only get what you pay for

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. 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
