you will get a lot of different answers from people here - it's like asking "what is the best truck?". I would suggest finding out if there is a tractor dealership near your land that does repair work and sells used tractors. If your budget allows I'd suggest you look for a late 80's to 90's vintage that has a roll bar (called ROPs)and 45-55 pto-rated hp with a loader, wide front wheels (not a tri). These will be a lot safer if you have hills than the older, smaller sized, dry brake models (e.g., Ford 8N) that did not have ROPs and limited hydraulic capacities. If you are more mechanically inclined but short on cash look for good older 1960's - 70's tractors in the 40-55 pto hp range (e.g., Massey Ferguson, JD, Ford, IH and many others). I'd pick a brand where there is some local dealer support. searching this site will yield a lot of good info., but beware as some folks here are color-blind and only like their brand of tractors. Good Luck
