I will be raising to acres ofsweet corn and strawberries. Thanks for your help.
How many acres? If you are talking about 40 or less, then even a gas engine powered tractor like a 601 or 801 series would be fine. The gas engine was dead simple and reliable.
The diesel engines are also good, but after this much time they may need the injectors or pump worked on and that is a LOT more $$ than putting a kit in a carb.
If you are only going to be doing simple tasks, then the simple 4 cylinder tractors in the 601 and 801 series will be great. If you are going to work larger land or do more ground intensive activities then the newer 3 cyl machines are your best bet.
Still, keep in mind that after 30-50 years -- reliability is not a given for any machine no matter how good the history of the line is. YOU have the chore of looking it over and determining what it needs. If you don't have that skill set, please pay a service tech to look over the machine before buying.
