    Buying Advice  Looking at buying my first "big" tractor $25k<

I'd like a Deere as I already have a little John Deere tractor (almost color blind - but not completely) that to me is as reliable and tough as it gets.

    Garden Tiller

    Where could I find information on a tiller? (Is this a good model? Are they reliable? Do they have specific weak points?) I know it was made sometime in the mid 80's. It's a John Deere model and says 660 on the back.
