Reliable PTO

[mtbrooks23]

I'm looking at running a PTO driven water pump....Crisafulli style.....thoughts are of purchasing a second tractor to run this and then have as a backup or additional piece of equipment when 2 tractors are needed.
I am not brand specific, but would like to get thoughts/opinions on a 50-60 hp tractor that is known for or the best bet for reliable PTO. Again, not brand specific and obviously prefer an older model to save on costs too. Ford 4000? JD 2020?

Thanks for feedback!

The 2020 is a good tractor, my grandpa uses 1 in his farm, even in its worn out state it's still a strong machine. We use a 2630 on our farm to mow cotton stalks with a heavy duty bush hog brand bush hog and It's got an excellent pto.
