Welcome to the forum. Sure would be easier to offer ideas if we knew where you were. Big difference between Florida crops and Alaska crops.

And.. it might help to narrow down what you want to do before you decide on the tractor to do that job.

There is no tractor I would rather have on my 2-row corn planter (just right for 10 acres) than my 1951 Ford 8n. I would suggest looking for one of them. This also gives you the best parts availability of any tractor model made before or since. Look for a 1951 or 52 model which were the most refined form of the first modern utility tractor. You will also need a 2-bottom plow and a disc in addition to the tractor and corn planter. You can probably get it all in working condition for less than $4000 total. Good luck

Are you gonna want a loader?

How about implements?

Will the crops planted be for economic gain?:D

What kind of buget do you have?

What was the land used for before you got it?
