Saw a CL ad for a JD model 50 tractor and have been giving that particular model a read/learn.
Kind of a neat tractor, on par hp wise with a Farmall H or maybe Super H. I gather live hydraulics, independent PTO and 3 pt hitch availability. One of the comments I read somewhere was - the Model 50 didn't have enough hp to hurt itself, which I read as self destruct under severe conditions. Kind of a hybrid IMHO - crossing the line between old design tractor, i.e 2 cylinder, yet modern with 3 pt hitch, hydraulics and some with power steering.
What is your opinion of the Model 50 for general small farm work, haying chores with an old New Holland 68 or 14T type baler?
Just curious.
Thanks!
Bill
