well you can pick up a ford 8000 for a pretty decent price, usualy from about $4000 to $6000 bucks, its a bit bigger than ya stated, its around 105hp, but if its not your main tractor then thats not a huge concern. i was looking for about a 75 hp tractor too, but i came across my ford 8000 for a decent price so i bought it, we have a few 30-40 hp tractors for smaller jobs so going too big on the tractor wasnt a problem. the ford 8000s used the 401 cubic inch 6 cyl diesel,the same engine used up until the late 80s or early 90s so its a time tested design that has held up very well. i havent had any problems getting any parts for my tractor so far, all i have had to do to it was brakes which it needed when i bought it, they are wet brakes tho so it was expensive but the brakes should last for 5 or 6 thousand hours under most conditons. i paid $4000 for my ford 8000 with a cab and almost new rear tires on it. i couldnt find anything near that price in the 75 hp range,and it sure is nice to have a tractor that can pull a baler and full wagon on any hill, and believe me some of the fields i do have some serious hills. also its nice on the road to have the power and weight to tow 2 or 3 loaded wagons and most of all to be able to stop those wagons also

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
