What are you looking to do with your tractor? I may be able to offer you some insights as to what would be a good model.

I have a John Deere 2020. It's been around my whole life and I hope it keeps a ticking

We use the tractor to cut hay, fluff hay, bale hay and lift hay. We use it to harrow the working arenas, drag the manure, blade down dirt, plow gardens, mow pastures/ditches. It is used quite a bit. I love my tractor

eventually cutting and baling hay for our horses. but right now the normal help around the house manure pickup, road grading, pasture maintenance, bush hogging, ect....

(that was hubby

)

^I spend most of my summer in this one.

^^ Use this one plant corn, milo and drill wheat

^^ This is the one I use for utility work around the pasture. Ours has a loader though.

That was fun!

I have 30 acres and a Kubota MX5000 (50hp) with LA852-2 loader, 6' rotary cutter, 7' landscape rake, 6' boxblade, 6' 3pt tiller, post hole digger with 9" and 18" bits, 50 bushel manure spreader and a grapple.

I use it to mow pastures, put in fencing, build shelters, move snow, landscape new house, maintain gravel drive, manure management, till fields for planting, pick up the 800lb bales of hay and stack in barn, level ground for round pen, move dirt, clear trees, pull out old fencing, rescue neighbors in ditch.

This sure beats moving and stacking hay by hand.

We have 58 acres.

We've got a Ford 9N, a smaller Kubota (I can't think of the model at the moment), two Farmall H's, a Farmall 706, and a Farmall 300 that we call "Frankenbucket".

These are the only pics I have on my computer of a few of them.

We have 14 acres. We have an old JD 60 two cylinder gas tractor (Big John) with a trip bucket. It is all hand controls (including the clutch and brake) so I went out and bought myself one I could drive: a JD 4410, 4x4, with a loader, back blade, mower, and front snow plow (Little John). We also have a small JD garden tractor (Itty Bitty John).

We don't use Big John much anymore -- sometimes for pulling the manure spreader and snow removal if we have a lot. Little John gets used for pasture mowing, pasture fertilizing, manure hauling, driveway repair (we have a 1/2 mile long drive), snow removal, tree trimming, tree removal, gutter cleaning, barn lot renovation, dirt moving, compost loading, fence building, gravel spreading, bramble digging, wood hauling, coal moving and pretty much anything else that requires a little power and perhaps a bucket.

I'd never get another tractor without 4WD and the hydro transmission either!

I asked my dad and he said if you get a tractor 120+hp you can easily do pretty much anything you need with it.

He's tired and grouchy so that's all I got outta him tonight, sorry!
