Wow, there is an opened ended question with just enough info to start a fight.
Flat lander, hills, sand,loam or clay? Dry or wet? Snow? Do you have a shop and are you handy repairing equipment? How many hours a year? Do you prefer to purchase cheap now and pay the price of the new tractor over the next 5-15 years in parts? Local dealer(s)? Brand loyalty. As soon as you said loader/backhoe work or ploughing in clay. Ford toy ford N series is out of consideration. While I bleed green those Massey 35/135/235/65/165/265 do ok. Some late utility sized White,Olivers, Internationals etc ok too. If it doesn't have a factory 12V alternator electrical system, a real drawbar, live high pressure hydraulics, live pto, decent brakes and diff lock. Forget about it. May as well get a roll over protective system too however many hero's here will tell you a rops isn't needed. And it's forcing safety down the throats of American's freedom wah wah wah.... Lots of postings here however of Joe Farmer of 30,40 50 years rolling his tractor on top of himself.
For the price these machines will work.Have long term dealer support by a financially sound company.Excellent parts support. Good financing and warranty. Excellent retained financial value. Of course some green hater who's Daddy's favorite tractor company has gone bankrupt is going to squawk and say too much $$$. Well figure the total $$$ spent and retained value over the next 10-20+ years.
