Need some help. I live in v. rough country and have to maintain my farm track roads with a tractor and a blade on the three-point. Been using a JD 2510, great tractor; nevertheless, it died once while on a steep grade, and the power brakes died too. I went backwards at a high rate of speed and was fortunate to be at a place with no curve and a wide landing area. Since then, I take great care in keeping it tuned, clean gas-tank-lines and filter, and so on. But it is a machine, and one day it will stall again.
So. What tractor can do this job? What tractor has the best, the very best non-power brake system. It should also be a tractor with a carburetor that doesn't stall on slope. I'm partial to Allis orange, but here's a case where simple mechanics dictate a choice, and I don't know enough to know what that choice should be. Tractor doesn't have to be all that powerful. I'd love to hear that WD45 or an Allis CA is right for this job, but for all I know, it's a Ford 8N. 'Preciate advice from people who have the right knowledge and experience. I'm a retired soldier, not a tractor mechanic. A graded road ain't worth dying for.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
