I agree, but I think he's talking brand new. If you don't have a loader, you don't need power steering. Unless you're buying a fairly new tractor, it will be hard to find a smaller tractor with a rops. With the millions and millions of older tractors out there, you don't hear of many rollovers. You do need common sense though. A 3 pt. hitch allows for a wider range of implements for a smaller tractor and unless you have an implement with a hyd. cylinder, why would you need aux. hydraulics? A live pto is good to have if you want a mower or rototiller. Contrary to what some people think, there are lots of good used tractors that don't need any fixing to last for quite a few years. The key is to check them over really well with someone qualified. A good used tractor can be just as, if not more, reliable as a brand new one and it doesn't have to have expensive green paint on it either. An MF 35, 135 or a Ford of the same era would be a good starting point but likely a little more than $2500 for a real good one. There are deals to be found, just be patient and you should be able to find a good tractor. Dave

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
