What kind to get? We currently have a 3pt model we put on the loader tractor but hook-ups are a real pain, so it ends up tying up the tractor. Plus its slow going (anyone that has used one much can understand, I'm sure) and the loader on the tractor is about shot. It was adequate for fixing a few tiles a year and the occasional yard work/house remodel job, but now we have some more serious demolition and tree removal work that needs done, so I'm thinking its time for a real machine. I'm a CIH guy so I'm kinda partial to the 580 series Case machines. You sure do see enough of them around this area. All construction guys I know swear buy Deeres, but none of them own the equipment, they all work for larger const/excavating firms. Anyone who has ever watched a 4020 sell for 15k on an auction knows the resale reputation Deere has. We have a Ford/New Holland dealer close that sells alot of industrail equipment and has a good parts dept. A man I work with has a 555 Ford and is very pleased. Plus they seem to be about the newest and cheapest priced used hoes out there. What do you guys (and maybe gals, I don't spend much time on this forum) use/own? What are some good options to look for? What are some good problems to watch for? Call me cheap, but I'd like to keep it under 15 grand or so.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
