Get something about 30-40 HP with live PTO and hydraulics and 3-point hitch. I'd look at one of these: John Deere 420, 430, or later 1020, 2020, or 820. Ford "Jubilee", 600 or 800 series of the 1950's Massey 35, 135, 150 Oliver 550, 1250. International 330, 404, 414, 424, 444, Case 430, 530 The above seem to be the best for relibility and durability. The Ford 8N and 9N's were good, but they do not have live hydraulic or PTO which hampers their usefulness. Even tho I am a dedicated Deere man who bleeds green, I say the best small tractor of all time is the Massey 135. Choice of what tractor to get depends on what you find out there and your budget. ALso a lot of it will depend on what dealers you have nearby. Deeres and Fords are easy to get parts for, Case-IH dealers have parts for the older IH and Case, New Holland dealers for Fords, and AGCO dealers for Massey and Oliver. Up here, the Deere dealer can get parts for the other makes. Depends on the dealer himself, too. Good luck with your machinery. just my $0.02
