The older Bolens tractors that were made before MTD got ahold of the company were darn good tractors. i do not profess to be any sort of expert on the breed but apparently they are divided into Small Frame and Large Frame models, with the Large Frame units being the most desirable when it comes to working the land.
While I am firmly in the Case, Ingersoll camp.... I cannot ignore some of the other brands that also produced some very capable machinery. There are quite a number of Bolens tractors out there that are still giving stellar service every day. As mentioned, the one on offer is a large frame model and presumably it is priced OK.
When searching for a suitable tractor, you should keep all of your options open.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
