Someday, what do you wish to do?

Will you ever bale with a small square baler (live pto, good set of gears to choose from, 35-40 hp) or round bale (same, only 20 more hp), blow snow with a snow blower (live pto, more than 1 reverse gear for slow slow backing) or have a loader on it (power steering, heavier rear for counter balance).

Plowing, a good sturdy tractor. Tilling, you would want several _slow_ gears to choose from.

And so forth. Starting out it is hard to know what you will end up doing, but, I like to match the tractor to the jobs.

I imagine you will be bush hogging, so you want live pto anyhow. That would be tractors from the mid 1950s.

More gears, more options, tractors from the 1960s.

More safety features, less wrenching & maintaining by you, a diesel from the 1970s+.
