: I have about figured out that the tractor I need for my
: little 5 acre place is a Ford 8N... How much should I expect
: to pay for one in good condition w/ fair paint, good tires,
: sound hydraulics, good electrical, easy start and no major
: oil leaks???
: Also, what size box blade will it handle?
In my part of the world, an 8N as you describe would go for $2750 and up.
The siz of box blade depends on what you are doing with it. If levelling a driveway or other light work like that, a 5 foot will work good. If you are doing some serious soil moving and levelling, or plan to make extensive use of the teeth, a 4 foot is probably a better bet.
