I've got 5 acres and a Farmall M. The only reason I got something so big is so that I could move heavy stuff around the yard (such as I-beams) with the front loader. Now that I have it, I don't ever want to part with it. Great tractor. It's a bit much for my small acreage, but...

I'll be spending more than the tractor is worth, but such is our hobby. If you want a work tractor, get something newer that has all the gadgets. If you want a hobby, nothing beats the earlier tractors.
