I need another tractor....no really, I do!
I move things around regularly during the growing season. Trailers and wagons and the like. Weights of up to about a ton or so. I've got an Allis D17 and a D19 on the farm. When I am using those tractors for other things, it really isn't that much extra time or expense to use them for this small stuff. But some times of the year I am not using those tractors for other work and it seems expensive to start such a large engine for such a small, short job.
We live in the Ozarks, so any large flat spot on our farm was made that way by us or someone before us. Lots of slope to our fields. Not enough for a runaway, but enough to consider. I am thinking along the lines of an Allis B or perhaps a smaller Farmall. I guess weight and braking ability are the most important, not necessarily power.
Any recommendations about what could do the job? A machine that a kid could operate would be a good choice, too.
Thanks for your help.
Christopher

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
