Sounds like all you need. HP isn't important except to drive PTO attachments. Weight (and ballast) are all-important for traction and stability. You may want a canopy at some point for hot-weather work. Age isn't important as long as parts are available. Good for you. We all may need to grow food at some point.

Today I picked up a 1998 Ford 1920. It's a 32hp 4wd compact tractor with front end loader. 1900 hours but it starts with just a touch of the keyhttps://photos.app.goo.gl/Uo5en44yC5J5JeLN9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/o7g8Z4btoNSnwTj79 https://photos.app.goo.gl/Q1RCkz5K7WqptTRq6 It's about a 20 foot machine, in the last pic you can see that its been "repainted". But the hydraulics all move good, it makes no bad noises in any gear (12 of them!). The transmission is interesting, its a 4spd synchronized shuttle shift with 3 ranges which adds up to 12 speeds forward and reverse. I don't think I'll be trying 14mph backwards... Next step is a full service, M1 TDT in the engine and interestingly almost everything else uses hydraulic oil from the front diff to power steering to hydraulics... -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
