Hello! I am a beginning farmer, and I am looking for a large size tractor. I will be off from college this summer, and would like to restore a 100 HP+ tractor so i can use it in a couple of years when i get my own farm. I think the best value for my money would be a 1066 since i am in IH country (Central NJ), plus my father worked for IH. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a 1066? Seems to me like i can pick up one pretty cheap, theres one in the lancaster farmer with a smoking motor for 3500 if i remember right. The parts on it are considerably less than a Deere (dont mean to bash deere). Also, if i purchased one, could i put on the coleman/ellwood MFWD units on it? I know @ work we have a 1086 with a coleman unit on it, and it is pretty sweet. Alright, last question. Say i have a theoretical 400 acre farm. 100 acres each in corn,beans,wheat,and hay. Do you think that a 1066, Massey Ferguson 90, and lil tractors for haying such as a Jd A's and B's and utillity fords could farm the land while having a full time job? Thank you for your help, i greatly appreciate your advice. PS.....Just got a summer job @ farm credit so i can deal with farmers all day....sure does beat working with stuck up people @ Morgan Stanley

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
