One thing to remember, concerning these older tractors---they are all getting a little old. A 1955-1960 vintage tractor will be about the oldest that will have the features you need. There are a few that are older that will work, Olivers for example could have live pto as old as 1949. Ask yourself one thing; How long will you be doing this? If you are wanting a tractor, for just "today", just to get started, you can trade up soon enough. If you are thinking that this may be a long term operation, I recommend getting the newest tractor you can find that is affordable!

A 1960's vintage tractor will have a lot more amenities than will a 1950's vintage one. The suggestion of getting a 3020 is a good one, and except for the cost of a good 3020, I'd say that getting one of them ought to be a first choice.

Some good models: IHC f656 and f504, Ford 4000, Oliver 1600, 1650, 1550 (including the Cockshutt badged models), MM U302, AC D17 and 180, Case 730 and 830, and John Deere 3010, 3020, 2510,and the 2020!
