Those Fords you mention are (Can be) good tractors. I've owned a 3000 gas (1974) and a 5000 diesel (1973) Both wer great tractors. They can be worn out at that age though. Look at them closely. If you're like me, you don't want a resoration project for a working tractor. Massey Ferguson has made some of the best "small" utility tractors over the years. Just don't go TOO SMALL. Most of the smaller utility tractors have marginal hydraulics for heavy loader work. You also mentioned a Ford 3400 That was (is) an industrial tractor. Since you won't be doing "row crop farming" that would serve your purpose quite well. Most industrial tractors have good, heavy hydraulics, since they are designed for loader work. Best bet..... look for a tractor you like, then post on here with specific model, and we'll all be glad to tell you the good vs. bad points of each. John
