Hi fellas! I finally did it. I found a working tractor for my acreage after a long search. I left yesterday at noon from central NE and drove to SE Illinois around the Vandalia area. Inspected the tractor that I had bought over the phone, loaded it and was home by 10:30 tonight. I AM BEAT! The trip was 590 miles one way! I bought a 1975 JD 4030.....think I"m overpowered for my little 5 acre patch!!! LOL. Anyway, tractor is an open station, 8100 hours, with about 3K on an overhaul and 1K on rear-end work. has a quick tach Farmhand loader on it. Needs some minor things and cleaned up but seems to run good. I"ll have to send some pictures soon.

Where did you get the tractor, I might have seen it? I'm in the Vandalia area.

Tractor came from a Ruckman just east of Altamont.

It's not so much the power of the tractor as much as the physical size. A 4030 is a handy tractor. Open station gives good visability. But if you are moving snow you might wish for a cab. If you want more uses for tractor maybe you can find neighboring meadow that you could bale hay off of. seams to be good market for meadow type grass hay.
