I've got 5 acres and a Farmall M. The only reason I got something so big is so that I could move heavy stuff around the yard (such as I-beams) with the front loader. Now that I have it, I don't ever want to part with it. Great tractor. It's a bit much for my small acreage, but...

Were it not for the heavy lifting, I would seriously consider a Case VA or a Farmall Super C. The Farmall Super letter series had the live hydraulics and PTO. Any of the Farmall hundred series would be good too. 100, 200, 300, etc.

I agree with the comments about the 3-pt. I'm looking at $600+ to install a 3 point on my Farmall. Not cheap! Then, I'm worried about it interfering with my front loader hook-ups. I'm also looking at upgrading to live hydraulics for another chunk of cash. I'll be spending more than the tractor is worth, but such is our hobby.

If you want a work tractor, get something newer that has all the gadgets. If you want a hobby, nothing beats the earlier tractors.
