Background:
I just purchased some property, and plan to install a 1/2 acre food plot. I was planning to buy a disc harrow for my ATV, but decided not to because it would create alot of stress on my ATV transmission (Yam Grizzly)? So, I decided to get a small to medium sized tractor for my hobbies. But, I want enough tractor in order to do more advanced or larger plots in the future, if I decide to purchase additional land. Things that I may do with the tractor are: dragging logs, drilling holes w/ auger, grading, discing (600 lb disc harrow) & brushhoggin. Initially I was considering a Ferguson TO-30 (30 hp, 1952), but I'd like to make sure before I buy, because I don't want to regret not having more horsepower. I'm also considering a 1964 AC D19 (70 hp), seems to be in good condition, plus my cousins really like AC's. Another would be a JD 1010? I'm not real educated on all the styles and/or model of tractors, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Generally speaking, I'd like to stay with Ferguson, Ford, JD, or AC, I know these manufacturers have a good reputation. How about Yanmar tractors, dependable?, what make/motor is generally used in their tractors? Their prices seem to be reasonable? Thanks for the guidance,
Dennis
