The best tractor you can get in the 35-40 HP range is the Massey 135. And this is coming from a Deere dude. In the ~30 HP range, the Deere 420/430 two cylinder, Ford Jubilee series, Ferguson TO-30 or 35, or a Case 430 would all be good choices depending on what you can find. If you can find a Deere 820 (later series three cylinder) or 1020 those would be good choices. There are a lot of 8N Fords out there. They are tough enough but they don't have live hydraulics or PTO and some of them tend to be high priced for the amount of tractor you get. For a bigger size, the best in the 50 Hp range is the Massey 165 and in the 65-70 HP range is the Ford 5000 at 67 HP. Good luck and happy hunting. A lot of the fun is in the looking.
