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.

The draft forces are
