Gentlemen: I will be moving to the mountains of West Virginia next year and will want to buy a small tractor for a variety of tasks -- primarily (1) snow plowing the woods road (about 1/8 mi.) (2) mowing paths thru very small brush with a belly or behind mounted mower (3) pulling a trailer to haul firewood, dirt, etc The features I am looking for are (1) modestly priced (2) wide front end -- definitely! (3) starts first time every time (4) easy to tune, repair, etc. As a kid on the farm, I did a lot of work with a Ford 8N, and one of the Ford Ns seems like a reasonable choice. But I wonder: Do my purposes (especially snow plowing and mowing) suggest a particular make or model tractor that would be ideal --- or that I should rule out??? I have restored old cars as a hobby, so something old would be fine with me if it would do my jobs well. Any thoughts? Thank you!
