Hi!
I need a tractor for 20 acres to mow, blade and drag brush etc. aroung for general clean up. I am fixing up this property for my horses. I am a city girl and have driven tractors at several horse barns but have NO IDEA what I should buy for my own place. I know I want 3 point and live PTO (?) and enough power to get the mowing done quickly. The grass is waist high right now. I want used and as inexpensive as possible. What brands or tractor would you recommend I look at? How big should the tractor be? RPM's? Last night I looked at a Massey Ferguson 50, circa 1958 and it was pretty big and seemed quite powerful. He wanted $3500 and I though that was high given some ads I have seen and the age of the tractor but I really would have no idea. Please help this
ignorant city girl fiind the right tractor!
