Depends on wheather you are a "Gentleman-Farmer" or a Farming-minded man..
IF you want convienience, yea, go the $50,000.oo route..get power steering, 200 HP, air-conditioning and Hydrolic brakes...shute, get a cup-hoder, too..and TV.... IF you want one that will out-last your life-time, let you enjoy the "Out-of-Doors", be owner-serviceable and maybe require a some level of operator Competence..get one the Meant to be used by such a person and save yourself $45,000.oo !!!!!!!!! You don't need any "Live hydrolics", power steering, hydrolic prakes, cab, cup-holder OR Over-running do-dad on the PTO...assuming you can sit in the seat and stay awake... I cannot believe a suggestion of 150 HP for 23 acres...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My gosh, some people mow that much with a garden tractor...these old tractors were designed for Farming..that means, used all day for many days in a row, with many years of reliable use between re-builds..and nearly re-buildable indefitely.. Maybe you should go to some "farm-days" shows and watch different equipment operating... Many will be glad to talk to you and explain the pros and cons of their choice of equipment.. Join a local Antique motor or tractor club..dues are minimal and the information available there is Priceless...!! I personally do prefer a tractor that can handle a 6' Bush Hog.. that gives you 5' for cutting and one foot, to over-lap the wheel-tramped grass that it missed on the previous pass..my JD "B" does this in great fashion..the 8N would probably be best with a 5' especially if mounted on the 3-point..(they ARE light in the front).. YOU have the obligation to KNOW how to safely operate your equipment, NO one else... Always BE CAREFUL..!!! Makes no difference what you operate...! Ron.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
