How much is in the budget? You want new? Old? Got a brand you favor? When budgeting for the tractor, remember to include all the impliments you want or need. They can add up quick-like. Look at what dealers are near. You will need parts and/or service at some point, even with new stuff. Then look at what's available. If you go looking for one particular brand/model/year of tractor, you might end up spending too much for no real reason. You're going to want 3 point hitch, power steering, live or independant PTO, I personally prefer diesel, but older small gas tractors are still a good buy, Unless you realy know what you're doing, stay away from "orphans". (Tractors made by companies now out of business) Unless you have something in mind other than the obvious, you won't need over 35 to 45 horsepower. That will handle most any equipment you plan on using. If you want to eventually add a loader, get something with good hydraulics. Some models (used)I would hunt for are Massey Ferguson 135/150, 230/235/240/245/250/255, Ford 3000, 3600, ect, Deere 1530, 2030, 2040, 2240, 2150, 2350, and a host of other models. Find a few suitable candidates, then bring your shopping list back here, and we'll be glad to tell you what we know about each individual one. Good luck! and Happy tractoring! John

New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
