It seems to be fairly easy to find a tractor in a good condition esp. with the web.

Anyway, I have been looking for a tractor that I can use to do some yard work (cultivating) and would also like to use it for snow removal.

Saw some 8n and others out there.

My biggest problem is... getting one home. I don't have a trailer and don't know of an easy way to get one home. Any tips?

:)

Rent a trailer or ask your friends someone must have a trailer and would be willing to haul it for a few dollars. Road Trip !!!!

Well if you could find one within 10-15? miles,I wouldn"t be afraid to drive it home..I hauled mine a couple months ago,then loaded the trailer with stuff and had to drive it home,pretty enjoyable trip,you see things at tractor speed that you wouldn"t normally see drivin your pickup..

Driving at that distance won"t be too bad but the ones I"m finding are at 50-100 miles from where I am.

If I remember right if you find an 8N with the hi/lo range it wouldn"t take that long even at that distance. Admittedly, I"m kinda partial to the 2 cylinders but even 15 miles can be a slow trip then.

I drove a Regular 34 miles once (3&1/4 mph)and just drove my 966 48 mi a couple months back. My cousin drove his M from Kansas to Sioux City IA! Tractor rides can be several hundred miles. Take the time and enjoy the scenery.

Ask around at some country churches or general stores in your area. Theres bound to be someone that lives near by that has just what you need. Or look in the yellow pages and call the nearest tractor dealership. They may be able to help you on a tractor someone just traded in. Plus they can help with shipping. Bottom line, buy as close to home as possible as you are then less likely to get burned!!!
