Hello, YT'ers.
I have a friend that is looking for a tractor for general light duty farm use. Plowing, tilling/discing, a little road maintainence, and brush hogging. He's leaning toward a modern compact utility, but doesn't have the budget to buy a new one, and used ones are hard to find and still expensive. What would a likely candidate be from Ford, IH or Massey? He's thinking of something along the lines of a MF 135, as he'd like to have live or independent PTO, live hydraulics and remotes. Also, he's not a mechanic and not interested in fixing one up. I'm no good on specs for the post letter series Farmalls or any Fords past the 8N.
Thanks,
Bill

How about an IH 424 or 444. These are mid to late 1960s vintage, utility style, around 35 HP on the PTO. Most have live PTO and many have power steering. You want the Power steering. They also have 3 point hitch and can be equipped with hydraulic remotes. They come in both gas and diesel versions with the gas ones being a little cheaper. Good ones usually are priced $4000 to $6000, depending on condition. Be aware though that any 35 year old tractor is likely to require some work to get it like you want it.
