First figure out exactly what you are going to be doing and with what implements. For an example my round baler requires 70HP. If you are not going to mess with anything big in implements you can go with a smaller tractor. Check the local market. Here you can buy a 2 bottom plow that will work on a Ford N for 350 dollars or a towed 4 or 5 bottom for scrap value maybe less at auction. You really don't want to buy a tractor only to find that the correct sized implements are high price in the local market or just not available! An example would be mechanical lift stuff here is really high and in demand because so many tractors are available that are not set up for hydraulic lift or only marginally so plus the yard art crowd wants them.
My round balers calls for 70 PTO HP and makes 1800 LBS bales so that means a bigger tractor than a guy would need for tillage on 80 acres. Plus the tractor not only has to power the baler but has to be big enough to handle the bales. Don't know that I'd trust the front end of my M with 1800 LBS hanging off the front.
Same with row crops. If you are going to be using chemicals you may not need to cultivate, so do you really need a row crop?

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
