Depends on wheather you are a "Gentleman-Farmer" or a Farming-minded man..
IF you want convienience, yea, go the $50,000.oo route..get power steering, 200 HP, air-conditioning and Hydrolic brakes...shute, get a cup-hoder, too..and TV.... IF you want one that will out-last your life-time, let you enjoy the "Out-of-Doors", be owner-serviceable and maybe require a some level of operator Competence..get one the Meant to be used by such a person and save yourself $45,000.oo !!!!!!!!! You don't need any "Live hydrolics", power steering, hydrolic prakes, cab, cup-holder OR Over-running do-dad on the PTO...assuming you can sit in the seat and stay awake... I cannot believe a suggestion of 150 HP for 23 acres...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My gosh, some people mow that much with a garden tractor...these old tractors were designed for Farming..that means, used all day for many days in a row, with many years of reliable use between re-builds..and nearly re-buildable indefitely.. Maybe you should go to some "farm-days" shows and watch different equipment operating... Many will be glad to talk to you and explain the pros and cons of their choice of equipment.. Join a local Antique motor or tractor club..dues are minimal and the information available there is Priceless...!! I personally do prefer a tractor that can handle a 6' Bush Hog.. that gives you 5' for cutting and one foot, to over-lap the wheel-tramped grass that it missed on the previous pass..my JD "B" does this in great fashion..the 8N would probably be best with a 5' especially if mounted on the 3-point..(they ARE light in the front).. YOU have the obligation to KNOW how to safely operate your equipment, NO one else... Always BE CAREFUL..!!! Makes no difference what you operate...! Ron.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
