I'm a Farmall guy... I think I can buy a lot of tractor for a little money as compared with some of the other colors, yet parts are readily available... BUT, regardless of what your favorite color is... I'd have to agree with a previous comment... anticipate what you want to do and get a tractor with more power than you think you'll need today. Once you get one, you'll find yourself doing all kinds of things with it! A couple things I'd recommend... a 3 point (or 2 point) with hydraulic power both UP and DOWN!!! I've tried to dig post holes with 8Ns and 9Ns (which are nice little tractors), but without down pressure to drive the auger in hard soils, digging is darn near impossible! With my 400, I can just press the lever and send the auger through just about anything. My tractor also has an F-11 farmhand loader... VERY handy!!! And you'll want to ensure you have hydraulic remotes... many implements require, and, of course, you'll want to make sure you get a rig with a PTO! Good Luck!!!
