I need to help a friend find a tractor. She bought an old house on 10 or 12 acres. She has too much yard to mow in a timely fashion with a common riding mower. She wants to plow up a fair sized garden, and she has a couple pastures and a road bank to keep the weeds knocked down on. So we are looking for an old tractor. I think it will need either live or independent PTO, some sort of hydraulic system, although I don`t see that it will have to be live, independent or even 2 way. I don`t think it will matter much if it is wide front or tricycle. It will need to pull an old cheap plow, that could be pull type or mounted. Most likely something around the size of a 5 or 6 foot finish mower, and a rougher cut mower, either sickle bar or bush hog type. So what do we consider and what do we by pass? I know sometimes more hp can be had cheaper than less, but still this is a little place. I'd think we would most likely be looking at tractors from the 1940`s to maybe the mid 1960`s. Any help and comments will be appreciated.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
