Hi, I was looking for an old - style tractor that I could use to do 25 - 30 acres of small grain with it. It doesn't have to have power steering, a 3pt hitch, or hyd; but it has to be good quality heavy well cared for tractor. (it can have some minor repairs to make, tune - up, etc.)
Does anyone know what make of tractor I would need, and where one is?
Thanks, Paul John

Thanks to everyone that wrote back! I had a question though. Would a diesel or a gas be better?
Thanks

Paul: Diesels typically last longer, have more lugging power, and are better on fuel than gas engines. Gas engines are usually simpler to work on, cheaper to buy parts for, and start easier in cold weather than Diesels. The majority of tractors today that are 20 hp and up are diesel, which should give you some idea of what people in general want. However, some of the older diesels are not as robust as modern ones (thought the same could be said of gas engines), and as noted, they are typically more expensive to repair.

You can usually find these at auctions where old farmers are retiring. They are usually in very good mechanical shape and you can pick them up at a fair price. Your other option is buy one and fix it up. If you get one that needs overhauled or something like that, you can buy them pretty cheap so you can afford to spend a little money on them. Sometimes the best way to do it is to just start asking people if they know where one is at. You may find a really good deal doing it that way. As for type, it's all up to you. If you get an old tractor, in my opinion, Farmall tractors are cheap and easy to get parts for. John Deere tractors are more pricey but still easy to get parts for and you can almost always get out of it what you have invested. Ford tractors are pretty popular but can get over priced alot of the time. They are easy to get parts for but I have seen alot of them that are being worked on all of the time. If it was me I would probably go with a John Deere 3010 or 4020, something like that. They usually run around 7000 but they are very good dependable tractors. I have seen alot of them go at auctions for 4000 to about 6000. If you find one that needs alittle work you can fix small things yourself and then you will have a good running dependable cheap tractor. Hope I helped alittle.

Or, he could look for one of the less-sought-after brands, like Case, Massey Harris, Allis Chalmers or Minneapolis Moline and get just as good a tractor for a lot less money.
