Well...I"m not familiar with a 140, so went and looked at the pictures, and now know what a 140 looks like. Appears to be about the size of the AC-B that I mow with. You have a piece of property that will get you a couple few acres for hosre pastures, which you"ll need for your horses. I"m guessing that 140 will do anything else beyond that that you"ll need it for. But, I"m not thinking that it"ll handle a loader for the round bales that I"m guessing you"ll be putting out for your horses? Clearly you won"t be needing something real big, but you"re going to need some weight for that, and a loader for a spear...assuming that you"ll be dealing with round bales. $3K for that 140 if its in good shape? Probably not bad. Can run down to Home Depot and price the newest lawn/garden tractors made by MTD with everyone"s favorite color and logo on them for double that, and only last 5 years before rust or fall apart...just mowing the lawn, which is all that they can do anyway. What are your neighbors using? I"m referring to brands? Parts availability and serviceability are key factors. I"m guessing you might have an Case/IH dealer in the area...the 140. Who"s your dealer? And don"t be letting your dealer be talking you into the newest latest greatest compact on the market that will require a second mortgage that you don"t want or need. Who"s your dealer? What your neighbors are using might be a good indication. Of course, them old tractors run forever and ever, even if the dealer is long gone and out of business, as well as the manufacturer...and can often oreder parts still. Good luck, enjoy, be safe.

A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family’s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
