Well, having fun asking questions for tractor that can bale with lets say JD 14T & pull a 7-point field culivator. I read enough warnings that a minimal tractor may not be the better bet. A comfortable tractor is one of minimal physical size (to a point) with good visibility from the operators seat AND a machine that has some good weight & balance plus enough power RESERVE that the tractor is not working to its limit or outside of a tractors 'COMFORT ZONE'. Thus, per the feedback, there is a difference in just enough tractor to get the task done and a little extra reserve. Perhaps the ideal tractor for my needs should have the following minimum specifications: Weight- 4000lbs minimum, 4500lbs is better. Use extra ballast in tires & front if necessary to get there. Some extra front ballast is very good. Drawbar Horsepower- At least 35hp, 40hp is better. PTO- Live or Independent. Power Steering- Preferred. 3-Point Hitch- Nice extra. Wide Front- For novice/minimal operators. SOLID TRACTORS-
Massey Ferguson 35 (Perkins preferred)
Oliver 550
Ford 3000, 860/861

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
