I've been lurking around this site for awhile and have decided to ask for opinions/Advice about buying an old 8/9N Tractor. I eventually will buy a new Subcompact for my land, but untill I move out to it I need an older tractor to Brush hog it. I needed something that I could leave out there and have the neighbors watch it for me. I would cover it while not in use, but it would stay on a corner of the property until I used it.
My property is 3 acres and is very flat. To keep it mowed I rented a tractor and brush hog several times this last summer at 200 bucks a pop. I then began thinking that I could get an older Ford Tractor for a decent price and then sell it when I get my new tractor, but in the mean time I will have a brush hog available to me. I don't need a pretty looking machine, but it should run good and be mechanicaly sound. I can do a lot of mechanical work, but am limited with the elements.
OK now that that is all said and done my question now is what kind of price am I looking at for a machine like this? I have seen e-bay and individuals selling from 500 dollars to 4000 dollars, but what are they really worth?
Also any other advice on older, solid less expensive tractors would be great. My price range is about 1500.00 Give or take.
Thanks for your help and opinions in advance.
