First of all I wanted to thank those on this forum that put the time into continually helping people even though the question has probably been asked a hundred times. I went through a long process of selecting a tractor and the information was invaluable. I ended up getting an old NAA. I can already see some of the points that I initially had no perspective on. And as with most of my experiences in life have learned more a lot from my first purchase... I already know what I want on my next one.
So far this has been a good little tractor for me. I bought a Howse bush hog for the thing and cleared some pastures that had been overgrown for at least 3 years. Not a single problem, except all the needles stuck in my face, arms, and anything else left bare, from the cockle burs disintegrating. I figured I wouldnt have this thing out of the barn till spring... until last weekend. I was hauling some wood from a friends house to my barn in 2-wheel drive F250 that is appears to be somewhere over 8000 lbs. Little did I realize how much it had rained until I was about 20 feet off my driveway when the front tires sunk about 10 inches in the mud (no kidding, 10"s), and the rear tires began to spin. No traction and all, and off course I tried too hard to "work" it lose, only to sink the back tires about 8 inches deep. Oh, what to do?! Will the little NAA tug this massive sunken anchor out? Well, after trying from a couple different angles and digging a 10" hole with the tractor tires... that little beast pulled it out. Whew! So far, happy with this little piece of history.
