Fords can't really be beat as far as availability and the size of land you have. I would stick to something that had either a 3 point or some kind of lift on the back. Much more versatile. Around here 1-2000 will have you a running N and usually with some attachments. A wd or wd45 come to mind as well. Letter series are great tractors but don't have a 3 point.
