I have a nice 420 that other than a top end overhaul runs and looks good. I just bought a Super 55 that looks good, needs minor stuff (left brake not working, lots of slop on right front wheel, pto lever bungi corded, etc.) Given they are worth about the same (3 to 4k with bugs fixed on 55) in my area of Middle TN, which should I keep to use on my slightly hilly 25 acre farm?????
Thanks!

I have to agree with old. If it is at all possible I think I'd keep both. I have 6 running tractors as well and they all do something different. I like each one for a different job for different reasons. My Oliver S77 works as a loader tractor and the 70 runs the augers. The RC 88 diesel pulls wagons and the hayrake. The AC WC hauls hay.

Well the oliver has a few more HP, don't know if either has a wide front end. I'd probably go with the one that had more options on it, IE 3 point, extrenal hydo. power steering etc. Between the two I'd have a hard time figureing out which to keep if I had to sell. But if I didn't have to sell I would just keep them both, I'm sure if you would start working them you would find that one will do some things better then the other and other things better then the one. I have 6 running tractors and each has its own job since each is better for each job. Hope this helps, but probably not. Probably make you think about keeping them both I would
