I am going to take exception to one comment. I would tend to agree that farm tractors (row crop) are not the best choice for all around use. Utility tractors, however, are a lot more versatile. I was more than a little surprised last year when I hooked the IH 300U to a 500 gallon sprayer with 40' of boom. It did an excellent job. Modern diesels are expensive but very reliable and versatile. Older gas tractors have less safety equipment so you need to be smart. They are easier to repair in most cases. If you want to mow ditches and move some material a modern diesel with ROPS and a loader is your best option if you can come up with the coin. You will be surprised at all the things it will do for you. I call mine "the son I never had" or "the boy" for short. If you cannot afford that, then you need a medium sized utility type with a loader. Must be designed to be used with a loader. The 300U for example, has a loader available but is not designed to move a lot of weight on the front end...so not a good choice. You will want power steering for loader operations. ROPS may not be practical, so a brain must be standard equipment on the operator. Color makes little difference. How it suits your needs is everything that matters. They are for sale everywhere. Educate yourself and look around a lot. Usually, a little extra money spent at purchase on a honest, working tractor is cash well spent. Rusted, broken, worn tires or other parts, "ran when parked"...look elsewhere.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
