[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1102854, member: 14713"] For what you want and need a tractor for the condition of the tractor is more important than make or model, or even size. Buy the best cared for used tractor that will suit your needs. IMO, used smaller 20 -35 HP tractors are overpriced for what they are. For the same or not much more money you could probably get in to a 50 -60 HP tractor that will be better suited if you expand your operation or simply find a deal on bigger equipment than a smaller tractor could handle. I'm thinking in no particular order of something like a Ford 5000, IH 656, JD 2510, Oliver 1555, MF 275, etc. You get the idea. Something big enough to handle your 3 point mounted implements but still a tractor small enough to be easy to get on and off and maneuverable. All of these tractors would have modern conveniences like power steering and live PTO and still be a simple tractor you can fix most anything needs fixing yourself. Preferably a diesel but if a good gas model came up and you don't use it a lot gas would be fine. Also, all of the tractors mentioned would be a good loader tractor, with the exception of the MF. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
