    1 tractor rest of forever -- what brand?

    I got my Massey Ferguson 1736 about 4 years ago. This is not my first tractor but I am definitely more impressed with this than same HP machines from the other brands. It's a fantastic machine often overlooked in the sea of green and orange.

    If I Only Buy One Piece of Equiptment...

    I will throw in my 2 cents. #1, a good sized compact tractor. Not a sub compact. It will be more versatile across your needs. Things to look for: #1, weight. You are looking primarily for "ground engaging" uses. This takes torque and needs weight to apply that torque to the ground. #2, get a...
