I currently have a small tractor and would like to increase horsepower. There is an estate sale that has a 1 owner D17 bought new in '68. The ad states that it starts and runs, but I have not inspected for signs of any obvious problems.
I want to increase my primary tillage capability. Nothing huge. I am thinking 3 bottom plow, 7 or 8 foot disk, maybe a 5 or 7 shank chisel. Someday also a 5 foot rototiller.
Do you experts think this tractor matches up well with that type of work? It is a gas wide front if it matters.
I fully understand value is regional and affected by details like tire condition and many other factors. Assuming reasonable quality, would $1000 to $1500 be a bargain?
If you guys think it will do what I want, I will go have a look at it. Thanks in advance.
Ps: I tried to post this last night but it never showed up. If a double shows up, that is why.
