I have a 64 Ford 4000 gas, 2wd, (45 hp) and a John Deere 2755 diesel, 2wd, (75 hp). I started out with 8 acres of horse pasture. The 4000 plus a boom pole did 99% of what I needed to do. It will easily pull a 6 foot bushhog or a 7 foot finih mower. I then bought 75 acres of woods and trails. The 4000 was not quite enough any more. I then bought the 2755 and a 15 foot bat wing bushhog. The 2755 will handle it easily. I do not have a front end loader. I don't really care to have the thing hanging iff the front of my tractor all of the time. I'd rather have a friend with a FEL than have one myself. I think you will find parts pretty easy to obtain on any name brand tractor in the 50-75 hp class. I have a Kawasaki Mule with a dump bed that I find to be super handy. If I had 18 acres and a couple of horses I would have the Mule and then some sort of tractor to mow grass. I think you will find with the Mule (or other UTV), you will seldom use the tractor. If you have a gravel driveway you will need a box blade or something similar. I will grab the Ford for most small jobs because it us so handy, but I really like the JD with cab and AC for hours of bushhogging. Oh yeah, another advantage of a smaller tractor is you can haul it on a standard 16 foot trailer. Welcome to the forum!

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
