Hey I would personnally look for a Farmall Super A, 130, or 140, I have a Super A and use it for the same purpose make sure you get one with all the attachments(plows, cultivators, planters, etc).

PS. I watch all your you-tube videos and i find them very entertaining keep up the good work.

I agree 100%. The best tractor for the job simply isn't made anymore. Farmall A or even a Cub with mid mount cultivators and a cole side dresser simply put is probably the best tractor ever made for cultivating next would come in the Allis Chalmers G.

The layout of the Farmalls give you clear unobstructed vision with the chisels directly below allow you keep tabs on the cultivating and steering the tractor without constantly turning your head.

Looks like the Tuff-bilt may be prone to doing a wheely and coming over, and no Rops?

Jeff: Years ago we used a Farmall 450 as our main row crop tractor, which is a high clearance tractor. You might add that one to the list of tractors to keep an eye out for.

Also, any old John Deere 3020, 4020, 3010, etc. would have plenty of clearance too. And there are more of them around, and they were built to last.

P.S.: I really enjoy your website. I've watched a ton of your videos, which are very well done and very informative. :thumbsup:

That Saukville looks good, but it is odd that there is no phone number or any contact info on their web page.

Yeah I saw that too. Their page has been mentioning the "new" company coming for quite some time, so maybe they're extinct now.

Yesterday, I found a place that has four IH 274 tractors, which is pretty much a modernized 140 with a diesel engine and three-point out back. He also has two similar offset Kubotas, and one John Deere offset. He was gone out of state and won't be back until next week, and I can get some prices then.

Might see if you can find a Kubota L245HC if the IH doesn't work, that looks to be a offset high clearance model.

Yes Sir. The fellow has one of those also. He has about a dozen high-clearance offset tractors. Should be a good place to buy, if his prices are fair.
