Remind me not to buy a tractor in Kentucky! In Nebraska a GOOD 8N, usually with an implement or two, is still under $2000 most times. Everyone has thier own needs, but for me my 8N does most of the work around my 101 acres (and a lot for neighbors, too). I have a couple of larger HP machines around, but they don't get used a lot. I figure, if my Dad could run this place with a Farmall C,H and M, there ain't no reason I can't. I'm not rich enough to lay down the cash for a bigger/newer machine. BIL spent $23,000 on a new 30 HP yuppie tractor that can't do a lot of things my 8N can. I can do a LOT of repairs for the difference in price. A lot of it is ego. You can do a lot with the older/smaller machines (your Grand Dad & Dad did), you just have to want to.
