What are you going to plow and plant? And how many of the acre's are you actually going to plow and plant? I think these guys recomending all these big old heavy beasts are missing the mark. Sure you can buy em cheap, but you'll pay for it twice repairing and maintaining a 30-40 year old tractor. Been there done that. Bought an Oliver 1955(108 hp) that looked excelent, gave $6,000, after two years of work and about another $6,000 I had a tractor that was somewhat reliable, not as reliable as new but I could get by. But it still was barely worth the $6,000 I gave for it. Buy just as new a tractor as you can afford. And I'd probably recomend going with a 40-55hp tractor as the big ones are just to clumsy for a lot of jobs.
