We bought a small 40 acre farm last year in SC. I bought an 8N Ford to start things off in order to maintain the place. Now I am wanting to move up a notch.
Here is my situation. Most of my land is horse pasture which I keep bush hogged, but I do plant about 10 acres for deer food plots. I was thinking of something around the 35 hp range, preferably with ROP and new as possible as my mechanical abilities could fit into a micro size thimble. I am open to almost any brand, but not grey market tractors. A close relative sells Century tractors, my only hesitation with him is that he stays real busy and I have found serious delays getting him to work on my 8N, plus I doubt that I can even get a new tractor for around 10K. I do have all the necessary implements, just need a bigger tractor. By the way, four wheel drive would be a great option. Thanks!!!
