Well, I am very happy with my Farmall M and I have ended up using it quite a bit more than I would have expected. Brush hogging, blading my driveway, etc. Now I've got the itch to get a tractor with a loader on it. I've been looking for something fairly small with a loader in the "under $4,000" category and can't seem to find anything locally. I've seen some Farmall 300 Utilities in the $3k range but without a loader. I want live hydraulics and would like to have a 3 point so I could use that tractor for road work and the loader and use my M for field type work with the mower and possibly in the future discing and stuff like that. I really don't need a loader tractor, but talking with friends they said that I would be amazed at all the things I would find to use it for if I had one. I am not sure about putting a loader on the M but have thought about that option as well. I live on 42 acres and my driveway is about 1,500' long. The other option is to trade in the M on a single tractor in the $6k to $7k range. Any recommendations other than be patient and keep my eyes open? Should I stick with Red or be open to look at other brands? What do you guys think would be better - a single larger newer tractor like a Farmall 656 or a Ford 4000 or 6000, or 2 smaller older tractors? Thanks for any input. Nathan

I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
