[QUOTE="Judge Sharpe, post: 1309411, member: 13878"] The reason I like the older stuff is that I can work on them myself. The Dexta is easy and parts are available from numerous sources. There is one place, Cross Creek Tractor in Cullman, Alabama :) that parts out all kinds of old tractors and has a source of new parts for most of what you need. My Dexta has the hydraulics for what I need and being fairly small I don't need power steering. With the split brakes I can turn it in a dime anyway. Besides, I have about $2000.00 tied up in the whole thing, Better than a monthly payment for more than I need. But if I won the lottery I would buy something newer, say a 70's model Ford. I know I am a special case because I have a small place and just use it for feeding hay, bush hogging, scraping and loading, spreading manure, disking and plowing. I don't bale hay with it, and don't plow multiple thousand acres, so the 36 hp works well enough for now at least. [/QUOTE]
