GT: Well now that we have you talked into two tractors, you may as well have two completely different configurations. Farmalls are great tractors for what they were designed for, wide open field work with heavy drawbar pull. There are however some nice little small quarters, manuverability jobs those short little utilities are much better designed for. What fools a lot of people is they can often buy a big row crop for less money. There is also good reason for that, it's called demand.

I remember in the late 50s, my dad was looking at a 3rd tractor. He already had a H and a 300. He came home one evening, had been pricing new tractors. A Farmall 230 was only $200. more than the 130, around $1,800. as I recall. He first thought for the price difference, he may as well have the larger tractor. Then he decided 230 would be close to same dimensions as the H and 300, wouldn't be anymore manuverable. Probably not as good as the 230 was wide front and H and 300 were narrow front tracrors. Finally he decided 130 was the best buy as his main reason for buying was a smaller tractor for those light and tight quarters little jobs.
